History & Origin

Alline is a variant of Aline, the French short form of Adeline and Adelaide, from the Germanic adal, 'noble.' The extra l gives the graceful, streamlined name a slightly fuller look while keeping its 'noble' meaning and soft rhythm.

It appeared from the eighteen-eighties, peaked around 1921, and thinned to rarity by the century's end. An Alline from the peak would be very old today; the fuller Adeline is the version now enjoying a strong revival, while Alline stays a quiet antique.

Did you know? Alline crested around 1921, when trimmed forms of Adeline and Adelaide — Aline, Adele, Della — were fashionable and often given as full names.
