Adélaïde Origin and Meaning

The name Adélaïde is a girl's name of French origin.

Adélaïde is a feminine name of Germanic origin, derived from the elements "adal" meaning "noble" and "heid" meaning "type, sort," together conveying "noble kind" or "of noble nature." This elegant French variation of Adelaide carries a distinctly sophisticated European flair, particularly with its diacritical marks. Popular in France and French-speaking regions, Adélaïde combines classical dignity with romantic charm. The name has historical significance through figures like Princess Adélaïde of Orleans and various royal women across European history. While less common internationally than the anglicized Adelaide, Adélaïde appeals to parents drawn to authentic French naming traditions. The name's refined pronunciation (ah-day-la-EED) and noble meaning make it a graceful choice that conveys cultural sophistication and timeless elegance.
