Star Wars character names

Adi is a versatile unisex name with rich multicultural origins, though primarily used for girls in Western contexts. In Sanskrit, Adi means 'first' or 'beginning,' while in Hebrew it can mean 'ornament' or 'jewel.' The name also appears in Indonesian, Germanic traditions, and as a nickname for names like Adelaide or Adina. Its brevity and international recognition make it appealing across cultural boundaries. Adi's simplicity belies its depth of meaning and cultural significance, particularly in Hindu tradition where 'Adi' refers to the primordial or first principle. The name's short, melodic sound with soft consonants gives it a gentle yet distinct quality. For parents seeking a minimalist name with global appeal and spiritual undertones, Adi offers elegant simplicity.
