What does Adira mean?
Adira means “Strong; mighty”.
Adira is a feminine form of the Hebrew Adir, associated with strength or might. Its meaning belongs to that Hebrew adjective and name family. A similarly written Sanskrit name, Adhira, has a different history, so translations involving lightning or restlessness should not be blended into the Hebrew definition.
Adira appears in several modern fictional settings, including the Tangled television series and Star Trek. Those references can make the sound familiar, but they do not create its older linguistic meaning. Adir is the closest masculine counterpart. The full Adira is brief enough to use every day and keeps its strength connection clear without needing a longer formal name behind it.
