Addis Origin and Meaning

The name Addis is a girl's name.

Addis is a feminine name with diverse origins. It may derive from the Hebrew 'Hadassah,' meaning 'myrtle tree,' or it could be connected to the Ethiopian city Addis Ababa, whose name means 'new flower' in Amharic. As a personal name, Addis has remained relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries but carries a distinctive, international quality. The name's brevity and soft consonants give it a gentle yet modern feel. With the popularity of short names beginning with 'A' (like Ava, Ada, and Aria), Addis offers a more unique option while following familiar phonetic patterns. The name's multicultural roots make it appealing to parents seeking a name with global connections and understated elegance.
