Adber (formerly Eatan) is a hamlet in the civil parish of Trent in Dorset, England.[1][2] It is known as Ateberie in the Domesday Book.[3]

The toponym is Old English, from Ēata and bearu ("grove"), and means "grove of a man (or the saint) named Eata".[4]

Adber was in Somerset until 1896, when the parish of Trent was transferred to Dorset.[5]

Adber has no church. Until the 17th century it had a chapel, but it was destroyed in the Civil War. [6]
