Edelina is Germanic, Italian, Spanish in Origin.

Edelina traces to the Germanic root adal/edel “noble,” coupled with the Latinizing feminine suffix -ina. It functions as a Romance-leaning variant of Adelina and sits in the same family as Adeline, all ultimately descending from Adela/Adele, a short form of Old High German Adalheidis (adal “noble” + heid “kind, sort”). The name therefore carries the meaning “noble” or “little noble one,” with a graceful, courtly tone.
