Hadi

Hadi or Hady (Arabic: هادي) is an Arabic/Persian/Turkish/Urdu masculine given name.

Hadi comes from the Arabic triconsonantal root of ه د ي‎. It is a name derived from the word Hidayah (Arabic: هداية, romanized: Hidāyah).

Al-Hadi is one of the 99 Names of God in Islam meaning The Guider.

Hadi (Hebrew: ~~הֲדַסָּי‎~~) also serves as a popular nickname for the Jewish/Hebrew feminine given name Hadassah (Hebrew: הֲדַסָּה‎). This derives from Hadass, which means myrtle tree, one of the seven holy species in Judaism.

However, it is most often used in honor of Queen Esther, who was forced to change her name from Hadassah to a more acceptable name, Esther (meaning hidden/ concealed), in order to conceal her Jewish identity.
