adla

Adla is a term with multiple uses across languages and contexts. It is most commonly encountered as a feminine given name in Arabic-speaking communities, often associated with the root ʿadl meaning justice or fairness. In practice, Adla appears in various countries in the Middle East and North Africa and among diaspora communities, with transliteration variants such as Adlah or Adlaa.

There is no single widely recognized place or organization universally identified as Adla. When written in all caps as ADLA, it can function as an acronym for different organizations or associations depending on the jurisdiction and sector. Because acronyms vary widely, the exact meaning of ADLA is context-dependent and requires specification.

In transliteration and cross-cultural use, Adla may appear alongside related terms derived from the same root, such as Adl or Adlah, and may be confused with similar-sounding names. Because its usage is relatively sparse and diverse, detailed, authoritative coverage of Adla is limited in general reference works.

Usage notes emphasize that Adla is primarily a personal name rather than a common noun, place name, or standardized organization title in most contexts. As with many Arabic-origin names, its appearance outside Arabic-speaking regions often reflects cultural or familial connections rather than a standalone meaning in the adopted language.
