Meaning
Hadia (هَادِيَة) is an Arabic name for girls. It means guide, one who leads to the right path. Hadiyyah (هدية) with a double y is a different word meaning gift.
In Arabic, words are built from a root of usually three letters. Hadia comes from the root ه د ي, and words from the same root share its core meaning. Similar names from the same family of words are listed below.
The masculine hadi is used of Allah in 25:31: "sufficient is your Lord as a guide".
وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوًّۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيًۭا وَنَصِيرًۭا
Wa kazaalika ja'alnaa likulli Nabiyyin 'aduwwam minal mujrimeen; wa kafaa bi Rabbika haadiyanw wa naseeraa
And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the criminals. But sufficient is your Lord as a guide and a helper.
Quran 25:31. Arabic: Uthmani text (Tanzil). English: Sahih International.
Say it HAA-di-yah. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Hadiya and Haadia. In Arabic it is written with 5 letters, from right to left: ه ha + ا alif + د dal + ي ya + ة ta marbuta.
Hadia is a name with a good meaning, which is what the Sunnah asks for. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The most beloved of your names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman",3 and after these, any name with a good meaning is a sound choice. With the father's name it becomes Hadia bint (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
