"Variant of Adonai"
The name Adonay is commonly a male name from the "Hebrew" origin.
Adonay is a transliteration variant of Adonai, the Hebrew title used for God in the Hebrew Bible. The form goes back to the Hebrew root adon, meaning lord, with a first person possessive ending, and the final y in place of i reflects a difference in transliteration rather than a different name.
Adonai means "Means 'my lord' in Hebrew. This was the title used to refer to the God of the Israelites, Yahweh, whose name was forbidden to be spoken.".
The pronunciation of Adonay is ah-doh-NYE.
