About Hadassah
This Hebrew name of Queen Esther is well used in Israel (especially for girls born around the holiday of Purim), and in the US is the name of a Zionist women's philanthropic organization. Formerly shunned as hyper-religious, this name entered the Top 1000 in 2007 and has since climbed into the Top 700. Nickname Haddie feels like a natural companion for Addie and Maddie.
Pronounced ha-DAH-sa.
As of October 2026, Hadassah ranked #570 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #532 in 2024.
