feminine · English (Modern) origin
Adelynn is a modern English elaboration built on the Germanic element adal, meaning noble, which also underlies the classic names Adeline and Adelaide. The -lynn suffix, widely popular in English name coinage from the twentieth century onward, was appended to give the name a softer, more contemporary feel. Adeline, Adalynn, and Adelyn are closely related variant spellings sharing the same essential form and meaning.
