History & Origin

Adelin trims Adeline — the Norman French diminutive of Germanic adal, 'noble', the root of Adela, Adelaide, and Alice. The e-less form serves as a Romanian and French masculine/feminine spelling and an American respelling within the booming Adalyn-Adeline family.

It registers thinly in recent U.S. records. Rare, noble-rooted, and Addie-equipped.

Did you know? 'Sweet Adeline' was the barbershop quartet anthem so beloved that the women's a cappella society named itself after her — the name harmonizes by reflex.
