Adelyn

Adelyn is a modern English feminine name, most likely an elaborated form of Adele or Adelaide, both of which derive from the Old High German element adal, meaning noble. The suffix -lyn, popular in American name coinage from the twentieth century onward, was appended to give the name a softer, more contemporary sound. Adelyn functions as a creative variant alongside similar constructed forms such as Adalyn, Adalynn, and Adeline.
