History & Origin
Adonnis doubles the n of Adonis — the youth of Greek myth, gored by a boar and mourned into anemone flowers, whose name descends from Phoenician adon, 'lord' (cousin of Hebrew Adonai). The Creed films' Adonis Johnson and the name's dictionary sense ('an extremely handsome man') powered modern American use.
The double-n form adds custom plating to mythic bronze. It remains rare beside the rising Adonis.
