Section 4 · What Families Say
What People Usually Mean by This Name
Just, virtuous, one of noble and balanced character, from root ع-د-ل (adala, to be just, to make equal, to balance). The root gives us عدل (adl, justice, fairness) and معادلة (mu'adala, equation, balance). Justice in Arabic thought is not merely a legal concept but an ontological one: the proper placing of things in their correct station.
The Quran names justice (adl) as one of the commands of Allah: "Allah commands justice (adl) and excellence (ihsan)." A name built on this root carries that command within it.
