Aadil

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Aadil: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2003.

Aadil, of Arabic origin, stems from the root ʿ-d-l, meaning "just" or "upright," making it a name that carries a strong moral weight. While not tied to a single famous bearer globally, its virtues resonate in Islamic history and culture, where justice is a prized quality. The name shares a root with the place name Adilabad in India, a city founded by a Muslim ruler. Aadil is a respectful and noble choice, with the spelling Aadil being more common in Scotland than the variant Adil, reflecting a slight preference for the doubled 'a' among parents here.
