In modern Hebrew "adin(a)" translates "gentle, delicate". In the bible (Esra 2,15) you will find the masculine name ADIN(A). This is usually translated "delight"; the two words are related though, so the translation given on this site (click on ADINA) may also be correct. There is also a connection to "Eden" and the feminine name EDNA.
