Addie

US Popularity Rank: 2228

Origin: German

Meaning: Nobility; Nobleness; Son of Adam

The dictionary definition of noble is “having honorable qualities and moral eminence.” Teaching baby to take these values in stride might be made a little easier if their name means “nobleness” or “nobility!” One name with this meaning is the German gender-neutral name Addie. This charming moniker is sure to catch people's eyes with its double d spelling and cute -ie ending. Addie can be a shortened form of names like Adelaide, Adeline, or Addison, or be a first name in its own right. While Adelaide and Adeline mean “nobleness” and “nobility” in German, Addison “adds” a possible English meaning to the mix, “son of Adam.” For baby Addie, their name and all its connected names can inspire them to show the world just how honorable and talented they are.
