Adelei is a unique, sweet-sounding name for girls. As a variant of Adelaide, two things can be said of the moniker. One, that it is of German origin, and two, that it means “noble kind.” The latter conclusion helps shed light on why it’s such a favored name among the elite, including Queen Adelaide of England. Even the city of Adelaide in Australia takes after her. So whether or not you have roots in the continent down under, this moniker can still impart a grace and a strength like no other. By this logic, Baby Adelei will only stand to gain.
