[Facts] Re: Adesta?????
in reply to a message by kelly
Adesta comes from the Latin word adeste, which means to gather or come together. I named my daughter this as she is our last child and united our families.

Technically it's a compound of as "to" and este "y'all be (as I tell you)" which meant effectively "y'all come (here now!)" or as the carol puts it "come ye!"
