She explained it was coming through as ADI being the Masculine, Ō being the bridge and NAÏ being the feminine.

At the time I meditated deeply on whether I was to accept and move forward embracing this new name, and the resonance kept showing that this represented the next level expansion into more of who I am energetically, after a life of constriction in cocoon.

"Adi" is my birth name, a common name meaning a "Rare Jewel" in Hebrew, and also meaning "Primordial" in Sanskrit.

In asking in meditation what "Adionai" meant, I zoned out and awoke to a clear vision where "Seer of the True Light" was shown.

In later research I discovered that "Onai", unbeknownst to me, means "To See" according to the Shona people of Zimbabwe, whereas "Adi" also happens to also have a secondary translation as "My Witness" in Hebrew. Another meaning for "Onai" in the Japanese languages was "Beloved", whereas "Nai" also means Heaven or Sky in the Yawanawa language of Indigenous Brasil.

With "Adi" being like the Primordial Jewel, and "Onai" being a Seeing in the Beloved in Heaven, the connection seemed palpable.
 

Surprisingly for many, it took me a while for me to see the similarities others are first confused by when coming across the name and thinking it to be a reference to, or even the same, as the hebrew word for "Lord" - Adonai. However, in Hebrew spelling you can actually tell the difference even more so as Adionai, spelled                  even starts with a different letter "a" sound then Lord         

I have only recenly added the extra characters above the letters to emphasize the unique pronunciation, as well as a dot between Adi and Ōnaï, in order to differentiate it more clearly for others from the possibility of misinterpretation - while accepting that while the world may think what it may, this is the authentic resonance of the creative persona i am here to be.
 

I still happily go by my first name "Adi" -  while I have been known to also go by many varying names over the year, due to truly feeling names are mere words, without any one defining my true Nature or Self. As a human you can call me this.

As a creative and spiritual facilitator, because there are many Adi's out there already as it actually is a common Israeli name, this is where Adionai becomes useful, though for distinguishing design factors, is where there can be a space made through a dot to distinguish Adi and Onai.

Though as an artist and musician name, to make it most easy to find, as I did not choose "ADIŌNAÏ" but rather felt it come auspiciously to me, I feel this is the right distinguisher for me, to help the world identify my unique frequency, rather then as a misunderstanding of some intentional religious self-aggrandizing or source of controversy. It is unique to me and makes it easy for people to find me on the internet, as it seems to have not emerged in other places besides in an MMA fighter.

In terms of last names, I was born with the last name Beth, but even that was newly created after 4 last name changes our jewish ancestors made to fit into European society better from our traditional Hebrew last name, which was "Baal Chalom", meaning Dream Lord. Before i knew this, I heard my ancestors give me permission to drop the name - and sometime after received a name in vision from below within the Earth, that at first appeared to be Adam. Upon my confusion like wtf, you want my name to be Adam, i looked harder and saw that there was another A after Adam, making at Adama - which means Earth in Hebrew. However in this context I could immediately recieve a hidden meaning being that it is about the Earth being the union of Man (Adam in hebrew), with Mother, or (known as Ma in many languages) - unifying the sense of separation between the masculine and it's mother, between humanity and our Earth that lives as the symbolism and message I'm in devotion and service to a life of.

I have cycled through being called Adionai, Adama, and back to Adi in my life in a serious question and listening around this - feeling unattached to any of the names to define me, and also seeing the perspective of the silliness of having so much hippie names. Through my deep listening, all of these have come as complete emergent surprises to me, and have stayed through my journey of being more then happy to abandon each and any of these, to come to a loose yet clear place of where they fit.
