Historical Usage
The name Adonella is believed to have originated from the ancient Hebrew name Adonis, which means 'lord' or 'master'. In Greek mythology, Adonis was the god of fertility, hunting, and beauty, who was said to be the lover of Aphrodite. The name Adonella may have been given to a Christian woman in honor of this god, or as a derivative meaning 'little Adonis'.
Ancient Greek and Roman period (circa 8th century BC to 5th century AD)
Another theory suggests that the name Adonella may have been a variant of the name Hadassah, which means 'myrtle tree' in Hebrew. In the Old Testament, Hadassah was the name given to Esther, a Jewish queen who saved her people from destruction at the hands of Haman. The name Adonella may have been given as a derivative of Hadassah, meaning 'my lady' or 'little Hadassah'.
Biblical period (circa 6th century BC)
