Adalaide

Adalaide is a girl’s name of German roots, meaning “noble kind.” The feminine name sits in the company of sisters Adeline and Audrey, and her variation Adelaide sports an interesting past. Finding fame as a 19th-century German princess, Adelaide became known as “Good Queen Adelaide” after marrying British King William IV. The melodious name has since inspired the eponymous Australian city and has also fallen under the spell of notable writers like Thomas Hardy and Agatha Christie.
