Girl name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Adaeze: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2025.

Of Igbo origin, Adaeze means “princess” or “daughter of a king,” carrying a regal dignity that has made it a beloved name in Nigeria and the wider diaspora. One notable bearer is Adaeze Yobo, a Nigerian model, actress, and the wife of former international footballer Joseph Yobo, while Adaeze Onuigbo is an acclaimed author and journalist. Though not tied to any specific place name, the name shares its royal root with other Igbo titles like “Eze” (king). While still uncommon in Scotland, its melodic sound and powerful meaning are gradually drawing attention from parents seeking a name rich in heritage and significance, and it pairs well with both traditional and modern middle names.
