Adonia

• It's Greek for "beautiful or godlike", the feminine of Adonis. Its a strong name, yet soft.
• An unusual girls' name that I came in contact with in high school. A good friend, named Betsy's name was Elizabeth Adonia. (Uh-dohn-ya).

This looks like a modern feminine form of Adonis. Adonis is a character from Greek mythology who is associated with beauty and youth. His name most likely comes from Semitic adon meaning "lord."
