Adalaide is a girl’s name of German roots, meaning “noble kind” or “noble nature.” The feminine name sits in the company of sisters Adeline and Audrey, and her variation, Adelaide, sports a regal past. Finding fame as a 19th-century German princess, Adelaide married King William IV, becoming Queen of the British Kingdom. 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.
