ArchivesRe: name etymology
in reply to a message by aaron jaena
I'm not sure about the first two, but Adeline comes from the name ADELAIDE - (f) "noble person" (Germanic). This is the French form of Germanic Adalheidis. This was the name of the wife of Otto the Great, and also the wife of King William IV of England. A city in Australia bears this name.
