What is the meaning of the name Adalina ?

The baby name Adalina is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /ˌædəˈliːnə/; respelling: ah-duh-LEE-nuh.

Adalina is Germanic in Origin.

Adalina marries the Germanic root adal, meaning “noble,” to the Romance diminutive -ina, situating it alongside Adelina and Adeline - forms ultimately derived from Adela/Adelaide (Old High German Adalheidis). The name therefore carries the sense of “noble,” often poetically read as “little noble one,” while also echoing the short form Ada.

Members of this name family entered England with the Normans and dotted medieval Europe; notable is Sainte Adeline of Normandy (12th century), while the Latinate Adelina thrived in Iberia and Italy. Adalina appears sporadically in Romance records and has surged in recent years in North America, favored for its lyrical -lina ending. Variants and cognates include Adelina, Adeline, Adela, Adele, Adelaide, and Adelia; related modern spellings are Adalyn and Adalynn. Common diminutives are Ada, Addie, Lina, and Della, with international use spanning French (Adeline), Spanish/Italian/Portuguese (Adelina), German (Adela/Adelheid), and Slavic languages (Adelina).
