Gadis

Origin

The name 'Gadis' originates from Malay and Indonesian languages, where it means 'girl' or 'maiden'. The word has roots in Austronesian linguistics, with historical mentions in maritime trade records and cultural texts relating to Southeast Asia. It is not traditionally an Indigenous Australian or Māori name, but is used in multicultural contexts within Australia, especially among Indonesian and Malaysian communities.

Meaning

Literal translation in Australian context is 'girl' or 'maiden'. It symbolizes youthfulness, innocence, and femininity in a direct sense, appreciated in multicultural Australian communities for its simplicity and cultural connection.
