'''Etymology'''

This name may be an expansion of the biblical [[Personal Name|PN]] [[GAD|G<small>AD</small>]] (which see), and perhaps related to the [[Personal Name|PN]] [[GADIANTON|G<small>ADIANTON</small>]] (which see). It could be that the name is to be divided ''GADI''-''ANDI'', in which the first part could have the 1st common singular possessive suffix and mean “my-good-fortune.” The last part of the name, -''IANDI'' or -''ANDI'', remains unexplained. See, however, the [[EGYPT|E<small>GYPTIAN</small>]] name of a city in Lycia (Hittite territory in Anatolia), ''kadyanda''.<ref>[[Hugh W. Nibley|Nibley]], [[Hugh W.
