Adel Origin and Meaning

The name Adel is a girl's name meaning "noble; an eternity with God".

Adel might be considered a spelling variation of Adele, derived from the Germanic element adal meaning "noble", with the final '-e' removed to make it more concise and less girly. Alternatively, it could be an anglicization of the Hungarian form of Adela, usually spelled as Adél.

It also has its roots in Hebrew, combining ad meaning "eternity" with el signifying God, to give the name a very spiritual meaning.

Adel is also used as a masculine name, deriving from Arabic to mean "just and honest" and from the same Germanic element mentioned above, and is used as a standalone name, or as a short form of Adelbert/o.
