Adele

Adele is a Germanic given name derived from the element adal, meaning noble, which was common in medieval compound names and also used as a standalone short form. It was borne by several early medieval figures, including Saint Adela of Normandy, daughter of William the Conqueror, helping to establish the name across Western Europe. The French form Adèle and the Lithuanian form Adelė represent the name's broad spread across European languages, while it also connects to longer compound names such as Adelaide and Adeline.
