Meaning: Ethiopian district; The crown brings honor

Adola is a girl’s name that’s worthy of adoration. For starters, it hails from the colorful continent of Africa and can stand in as an ode to your equally dynamic heritage. The Ethiopians understand Adola as the name of one of their districts. Guye Adolo Idemo, an accomplished long-distance runner, native to this region, helped put this place on the map. If you were to cut across to the western coast, where Nigeria lies, Adola takes on the meaning “the crown brings honor.” With its inherent pride, grace, and beauty, going the distance will feel like second nature to its bearers. Surely then baby Adola will be inspired to bring honor to the community and family name.
