Adalie Origin and Meaning

The name Adalie is a girl's name meaning "noble; God is just".

Akin to Ada, Adeline, and Adele, Adalie is one of many names to derive from the Old German element adal. Musical and lively, and less popular than its many of its sisters, Adalie was given to around 160 girls in a recent year. An obscure choice until the 2000s, Adalie saw increased usage in the US in 2012, around the time as other Ad- names were beginning to really trend.

While the German origin is more obvious, there is the possibility that Adalie has Hebrew roots too. Adalia is used as a masculine name in the Bible and is the origin of Adlai. Meaning "God is just", this could add another layer of meaning to the name for some.

A less expected way to nickname Addie - or even to Dollie - Adalie might occasionally confused with its counterpart, the popular Adeline, Adelyn and co.
