Adi (आदि) means “first” in Sanskrit, linked to energies like Adi-Buddha & Adi-Shakti. It’s also a male name meaning “original.” In Hebrew, Adi (עָדִי) means “jewel.” #Sanskrit #Names 😊 https://wp.me/p3JLEZ-6Af
Adi (devanāgarī: आदि, ādi) is a Sanskrit word meaning “first, beginning, primeval.” It is frequently used to refer to the primordial Buddha (Adi-Buddha), primordial wisdom (Adi-Buddhi), the primeval ancient one (Adi-Sanat), the first cause (Adi-Nidana), the primordial force (Adi-Shakti), and the first Principle or plane (Adi-Tattva), among others.
More specifically, the word “Adi” is related to the primordial man:
Âdi is the generic name in our Doctrine of all the first men, i.e, the first speaking races, in each of the seven zones–hence probably “Ad-am.” And such first men, in every nation, are credited with having been taught the divine mysteries of creation.
As suggested in the previous quote, H. P. Blavatsky asserts that the name “Adam” for the first man comes from a root used universally in different traditions:
The words Ad and Adi mean in Sanskrit “the first”; in Aramæan, “One” (Ad-ad, “the only one”); in Assyrian, “father” whence Ak-Ad or “father-creator.” And once the statement is found correct it becomes rather difficult to confine Adam to the Mosaic Bible alone, and to see therein simply a Jewish name.
The name Adi
Adi is a common first name, and surname.
Adi or Aadi (आदि) is a male Sanskrit given name, which means “first”, “original”, and “superior”.
Adi (עָדִי or עַדִי, depending on the emphasis on the second syllable (female) or the first (male)) is a Hebrew-language unisex given name, which means “jewel” or “ornament”. It also means “my witness” (עֵדִי ‘edi) in Hebrew.
In Arabic, the title Adi (عَدي) was common in military distinctions in the early Islamic era. It means “the one who charges” in battle or sports.
The name also functions as a nickname for Adolf in German and Adrian in Romanian.
