feminine · English (Modern) origin
Adalyn is a modern English feminine name, a stylized blend combining the Germanic element adal, meaning noble, with the popular -lyn suffix derived from names such as Lynn or Carolyn. It essentially functions as a contemporary variant of the older Germanic name Adeline, which itself descends from Adela and shares the same adal root. The name gained widespread use in the United States during the early twenty-first century as part of a broader trend of crafting feminine names with the -lyn ending. Related forms include Adelyn, Adaline, Adeline, and Adela.
