Adaliah

What does Adaliah mean?

Adaliah is a biblical name of Hebrew origin, written as עֲדַלְיָה (Adalyah), meaning “Yahweh is just” or “God is my refuge.” It appears in the Old Testament as the name of a descendant of the priestly line during the time of Ezra. The name combines adal (possibly related to justice or nobility) with -yah, a theophoric element referring to Yahweh, the Hebrew name of God. Adaliah is rare today but carries a sense of sacred dignity, spiritual strength, and historical depth.
