Adalindes is Germanic in Origin.

Adalindes is a rare medieval Germanic feminine name composed of Old High German adal “noble” and lind “soft, gentle,” also associated with the linden tree and, by extension, the linden‑wood shield. The final -es reflects Latinized charter spelling, so Adalindes/Adelindes often alternates with Adalindis/Adelindis in records. The overall sense is “nobly gentle” or “noble linden/shield,” evoking dignified protection and kindness.

Attested in 8th–10th‑century Frankish and Alemannic contexts, the name appears in monastic and noble genealogies; it is linked in tradition to Saint Adelindis of Buchau in Swabia. Usage waned after the Middle Ages but survives in German historical revivals. Close variants include Adalindis, Adelindis, Adalinde, Adelinde, Adalinda, and Adelinda; related diminutives and cognates from the same adal‑ root are Adeline, Aline, and Alina. Modern bearers may prefer Adelinde/Adalinde for a more Germanic look, keeping Adalindes as an archival form.
