What Does the Name Hadar Mean?
Hadar is a Hebrew name meaning "splendor" or "majesty." It is the Hebrew noun hādar (הָדָר) used as a personal name; the noun belongs to a root connected with adornment and honor. Biblical poetry uses it in expressions of grandeur, as in Psalm 104:1, where hōd we-hādar is commonly translated "honor and majesty." The name is not a shortened form of a longer name but the word itself.
Hadar Name History & Origins
The personal name Hadar appears in Genesis 36:39, where Hadar is listed as a king of Edom after Baal-hanan. The parallel genealogical list in 1 Chronicles 1:50 reads Hadad, and some textual witnesses also read Hadad in Genesis; the relationship between the two forms is uncertain. This biblical occurrence is a personal name, not merely a common noun.
In contemporary Hebrew, Hadar is used as a unisex given name. It is a vocabulary name - the noun is used unchanged as a name - rather than a form created by adding a diminutive suffix. Its modern use belongs to Hebrew-speaking communities, especially in Israel.
