Adaline

Adaline is an English given name derived from Old High German elements, specifically adal, meaning noble, combined with the diminutive or elaborated feminine suffix common in medieval Germanic naming traditions. It is a variant form of Adeline, which itself descends from Adela and the broader family of names built on the adal root. The name shares cognates across European languages, including Adelina, Adeline, and Aline. It gained renewed popular attention in the modern era partly through cultural works such as the 2015 film The Age of Adaline.
