ArchivesWADELINE - Haitian name
Hello, we just adopted a little girl from Haiti and her name is Wadeline. I saw on another website that Wadeline is in the top 10 of Haitian names, I was just wondering if anybody had heard it before and knows of the meaning/ origin?

WADE
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English
Pronounced: WAYD [key]
From a surname which was derived either from the Old English place name wade meaning "a ford", or else from the Old English given name Wada, a derivative of the word wadan "to go".
Wade has 4 variant forms: Waddell, Wadell, Wayde and Waydell.
Wadeline must be the feminine version or a miss spelling of Madeline...
