Adham

Often explained as associated with darkness or deep black color, traditionally used of a dark horse.

Adham is a masculine given name used in Arabic-speaking contexts and recognized in many regions where Arabic names are common. It has a grounded, compact sound and a clear two-syllable structure that is usually straightforward for non-Arabic speakers to learn. In traditional explanations, Adham is associated with the idea of darkness or deep black color, historically used in Arabic to describe a dark horse. As with many names that move between Arabic and Latin scripts, families may adopt slightly different romanized spellings while referring to the same name. Pronunciation is typically AD-ham, with stress on the first syllable. A practical tip is to keep the initial vowel short and clear; if you encounter Adhem as a spelling, it is often a transliteration preference rather than a distinct name.

Etymology: An Arabic-origin name linked in common explanations to Arabic vocabulary describing deep black coloration; Latin spellings can vary slightly by transliteration.
