Adonis, derived from the Greek 'Ἄδωνις', is an enchanting unisex given name of ancient origin. It is most notably associated with the god of beauty and desire in Greek mythology. In various languages and cultures, Adonis has been interpreted differently yet beautifully: as 'lord' or 'rich' in some Semitic languages, while in others it signifies 'the lovely one'. This captivating moniker has gained global popularity due to its unique sound and profound meaning.
The name Adonis saw its peak popularity from 1993 to 1995 with seven births each year, followed by another spike in 1997 and 1998 with eight and six births respectively. However, overall it appears the name has seen a general decline in usage over time, with just six births recorded in 2016 and five in both 2017 and 2023.
