feminine · English (Modern) origin
Adelyn is a modern English feminine name, most commonly understood as an elaborated form of Adele or Ada, both of which derive from the Germanic element adal, meaning noble. The suffix -lyn, widely popular in American English name coinage, lends a softer, contemporary feel to the older root. The name functions as a variant spelling alongside Adalyn, Adeline, and Adaline, all of which share the same Germanic foundation.
