Adi is named after the archaeological site Tel Hali (Tel 'Alil) located at the Arab village of Ras Ali, 2 km to the southwest.[2][3] "Adi" and "hali" both mean "adornment".[2] Tel Hali may be the site of biblical Hali mentioned in Joshua 19:25.[3]
The village was established in 1980 by native born Israelis and immigrants from the Soviet Union as part of the "Lookouts in the Galilee" plan.
