Adeleine is Germanic in Origin.
Adeleine is a modern, rarer spelling connected to the French Adeline, itself a diminutive of Adèle and ultimately from the Old High German Adelheidis (Adal “noble” + Heid “kind, type”). The core meaning is “noble” or “of noble kind.” Names from this family traveled from medieval German courts into French, then to England with the Normans, where forms like Adeline and Adelaide appeared in records. Victorian taste revived the line in the 19th century, and contemporary interest in vintage names has kept it current.
As a respelling, Adeleine sits between Adeline and Adelaine, and may be pronounced AD-uh-leen or AD-uh-line. International relatives include Adèle (French), Adelheid (German), Adelaide (English/French), Adelina (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), and Adalina/Adaline in English. Common nicknames are Addie, Ada, Dell/Della, and Lina. While Adeline has surged in popularity in recent decades, Adeleine remains distinctive yet familiar.
