What is the meaning of the name Adaline ?

The baby name Adaline is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced AD-uh-line (IPA: /ˈædəlaɪn/); sometimes AD-uh-leen (IPA: /ˈædəliːn/).

Adaline is Germanic in Origin.

Adaline is an English variant of Adeline, whose lineage runs through French Adeline/Adelina to Adele and back to the Old High German Adalheidis, composed of adal "noble" and heid "kind, sort." The core meaning is "noble" or "of noble kind," and the spelling with -aline reflects a long -ine ending familiar in English.

Carried to England by the Normans, the Adeline family of names appears in medieval rolls, then faded before a broad Victorian revival. Adaline, the streamlined Anglicized form, surfaces in 19th- and early 20th-century records and has enjoyed a contemporary resurgence, buoyed in the 2010s by vintage-name fashion and the film The Age of Adaline. Related forms include Adeline, Adelina, Adela, Adele, Adelaide, and the modern Adelyn/Adalyn cluster; short forms Addie, Ada, and Lina are common. The name offers antique grace with a modern-friendly spelling while preserving its longstanding "noble" sense.
