Adela Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. Old German Athala, Adila, Edila, &c., from athal ‘noble’. The name was introduced into England by the Normans; it was borne by the 4th d. of William I, who was named after her maternal grandmother, a d. of Robert of France. The continued use of the name in France and Flanders was helped by the canonization of Adela, Countess of Flanders, wife of Count Baldwin V (d. 1067), but it was never common in England. It was revived in the 19th C, probably in imitation of modern French Adèle.
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
Of Teutonic origin (‘noble’), this is now regarded, especially by the girls who occasionally bear it, as a name ‘quite too Victorian, my dear!’
— Name This Child (1959) by Eric Partridge
