Meaning and origin of Adira
Adira is a Hebrew name that means “strong, mighty”.
Adira is a Hebrew name derived from adir, meaning mighty, strong or noble. The word appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe God and majestic things, and the feminine form is used as a girls' name in modern Israel. It is pronounced uh-DEER-uh.
