Adala is in Origin.
Adala is a feminine given name rooted in the Germanic element adal, meaning “noble” or “of noble lineage.” In medieval Europe, adal- prefixed many names; Adala likely arose as a short form or regional variant of Adela and of Old High German Adalheidis (source of Adelaide). Through Norman influence, related forms entered England, and the family of names saw periodic revivals, notably in the 19th century with Adèle/Adele and Adeline.
Variants and cognates include Adela (Spanish, Polish, Czech), Adèle/Adele (French/English), Adelia, Adella, Adelaide, Adeline, and Adelina; diminutives such as Ada and Addie are common. While rare in contemporary usage, Adala offers a streamlined, historically grounded choice carrying the core meaning “noble.” In some modern contexts it is also associated - by sound - to Arabic ‘adāla (“justice”), though that semantic link belongs properly to names like Adila.
