Adina - This name is also used in Romania, England, France, Germany, and Italy. Another origin would come from the name "ADAL" which in Old German meant "Noble". (I found this on a Romanian site... I am not sure about it.)

Adina is a beautiful elegant name for a girl, one she could easily grow up with.

I'm not sure if the origin is correct, but in current Hebrew Adina is exclusively a feminine name. Also, the masculine form of the word Adina (meaning 'delicate') is "Adin", and it is not used as a name. While the feminine form of the word 'delicate' is pronounced "Adina" with stress on the last syllable, the name "Adina" is pronounced with stress on the second syllable. [noted -ed]

I am surprised to see this listed as masculine, it sounds so feminine and I have only known girls with this name.

It's not a terrible name, but after all these years, I still think of Adina Howard, the r'n'b singer from the 90s, when I hear this name, and I can hear the song Freak Like Me in my head: ''I wanna feak in the morning and freak in the evening. Coz I will be your freak all thru the day until the dawn.'' Oh well, I've forgotten the lyrics, but that's what comes to mind.

This is a very pretty modern (for girls) Hebrew name, and I think it deserves more attention.
