Aado

Aado is a given name of Estonian origin. It is a diminutive form of the male given name Jaak, which is the Estonian equivalent of Jacob. The name Jaak itself has biblical roots, deriving from the Hebrew name Ya'akov. Aado is a relatively common name in Estonia, particularly among older generations. While it is primarily a male name, there are rare instances of it being used for females, though this is not its intended or traditional usage. The pronunciation of Aado typically involves two syllables, with the emphasis on the first syllable. The name is not widely used outside of Estonia and other Baltic regions. Its popularity has seen a decline in recent years, with newer generations often choosing different names. However, Aado remains a recognized and culturally significant name within Estonia.
