Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Hadi is a boy's and girl's baby name of Arabic origin meaning 'guide' or 'one who leads to the right path,' from the Arabic hada (to guide). Al-Hadi is one of the 99 names of Allah in Islam, meaning 'the Guide' — making this a name of profound spiritual significance for Muslim families.
Hadi is used across the Arab world, Iran, and South Asian Muslim communities as a name that carries divine guidance at its core. Simple, two syllables, and entirely clear in its meaning: this child will guide others and be guided rightly.
