Adelaide Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. Old German Adalhaid or Adalheidis, compound of athal ‘noble’ and haidu ‘kind’, ‘sort’ (= English -hood). This became in Norman-French Adelais, Adeliz, Aaliz, Aliz (whence English Alice q.v.). Adelaide is the mod French version of German Adalheid, and is now the usual forme of the name all over the Continent. The popularity of William IV’s queen, ‘Good Queen Adelaide’, led to its general use in England in the 19th C, when it was often abbreviated to Ada or Addy.
Adeliz seu Adeliza Domesday Book 1086.
Likewise of Teutonic origin (‘nobility’ or perhaps ‘noble cheer’), this is going the same way as Adela, with the proviso that it is still considered to be suitable for princesses and duchesses. A flippant scholar, unimpressed with even his own erudition, might be tempted to exclaim, ‘What’s wrong with it, anyway?’
From the Old German male name Adalheid (in Middle High German Adalheit, Adalhait, New High German Adalheid), signifying ‘a noble person;’ from edel noble, and heit. Hence the Old French Adelais, whence Alice, and the Scottish Elsie.
Teutonic (feminine) - Noble maiden.
A Teutonic name, meaning: Noble cheer: princess.
