Aadya is a name of Sanskrit origin, meaning "first" or "primordial," and is often used as an epithet for the Hindu goddess Durga, symbolising the creative source of the universe. While rare in Scotland, the name appears in Indian culture — actress Aadya Jha, known for Bollywood films, and cricket commentator Aadya Sharma are recent bearers. There are no notable place connections, though the related name Adya appears as a given name in several cultures. Aadya is a modern variation of the more traditional Adya, and its rising international appeal reflects a broader trend of Sanskrit-derived names crossing cultural boundaries. For Scottish parents seeking a name rooted in ancient spirituality yet fresh and distinctive, Aadya offers a lyrical, meaningful choice.
