Nadi name meaning
“one who calls; caller”

One who calls; caller

Nadi can be considered alongside Nida through their connection with calling or addressing someone. It is used as a masculine name in Turkish; other Arabic words with the same unvocalized letters may refer to a gathering place, so those meanings should not automatically be transferred to the name.
