Meaning & History
From Japanese 仇 (ada) meaning "enemy, foe" and 吉 (kichi) meaning "good luck". This is the name of a geisha character in the 1832-1833 novel Shunshoku Umegoyomi by Japanese novelist Tamenaga Shunsui (1790-1844). The novel tells the tale of two geisha who yearn for the same man. The name spilled over to real life use in Japan in the late 1890s.
