Pronunciation
Arabic: /ˈʔad.ham/, with d and h as separate sounds.
Dark; black.
Adham is an Arabic masculine name written أدهم, meaning “dark” or “black”. The word can describe a black horse, giving the name a striking visual association: a dark coat, a clear silhouette and a sense of movement. The horse is part of the word’s usage; the impression of strength it may evoke is a matter of taste. Adham has a compact, firm sound without an elaborate ending. Its central d and h are both heard in Arabic, giving it a small break in the middle rather than one uninterrupted flow. That detail also helps distinguish it from Adam, which is a separate name written آدم. For someone drawn to strong imagery and a restrained form, Adham offers an appealing balance.
Etymology: From Arabic adham, an adjective for black or dark coloration, also used of a black horse.
