Adelynn

Adelynn is a modern English elaboration of the Germanic name Adeline, ultimately derived from the Old High German element adal, meaning noble. The core element adal was widely used in medieval Germanic naming traditions and gave rise to a broad family of names including Adelaide, Adela, and Adaline. Adelynn represents a contemporary respelling that adds the suffix -lynn, a popular English name-forming element, lending the name a softer, more modern feel. Related forms include Adelyn, Adalynn, and the older Adeline.
