Pleasure or delight
Adna is a rare name with roots in Hebrew, where it signifies pleasure or delight. In the Old Testament, it is a masculine name borne by several minor characters, but in modern contexts, it is occasionally used for girls, often as a variation of Edna or Adnah. Its brevity and soft vowel sounds align it with contemporary naming trends despite its ancient origins.
