feminine · English origin
Adella is an English feminine name that developed as an elaborated form of Adela, itself derived from the Germanic element adal, meaning noble. The adal root appears widely across medieval European naming traditions and underlies a large family of related names. Adela, Adelaide, Adeline, and Della are among the closest cognates and variants, with Adella functioning as a slightly more ornate written form of the same lineage.
