For parents seeking a noble identity for their baby boy, Adl offers deep spiritual resonance. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Justice', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Arabic regions, Adl has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.
