Adina (personal name: 'delicate, refined')
The name of a Reubenite warrior, one of David's mighty men according to 1 Chronicles. Adina son of Shiza was a chief of the Reubenites with thirty men under his command. The name likely derives from the root meaning 'delicate' or 'refined,' ironic for a battle-hardened captain. Greek versions render it as Adina or Adeina.

The name, meaning something like 'delicate' or 'refined,' provides an interesting contrast to his military role—perhaps bestowed in childhood or reflecting a family heritage. 1×
