What does Adalyn mean?

"Noble"

Adalyn name origins:

French, German, and English

Adalyn is a modern take on Adeline, a French name with Germanic roots. It originally came about as a nickname for Adele, which comes from the Germanic word adal and means "noble."

The name has several variations, including Adelyn, Adalynn, and perhaps the most common is Adeline. It gets a more contemporary twist with the use of the popular suffix "-lyn."

Adalyn could also be considered a combination of Ada and the suffix "-lyn." Ada most likely shares the same Germanic origins as Adele, but it could also be a variant of the Hebrew name Adah, meaning "ornament."

While Adeline has been a popular name for centuries, Adalyn didn't start ranking among the 1,000 most popular girl names in the United States until 2007. It's quickly risen in the past decades, though, and hit peak popularity in 2015, when it ranked No. 132.
