Comments (Meaning / History Only)

According to other name meaning sites: this quote is specifically from kidadl.com:
"The meaning of Adalia is ‘noble one’ or ‘God is my refugee’. It is a name typically given to girls and is of both German and Hebrew origin. The German meaning of the name comes from the name Adelaide. Adelaide is a combination of the Germanic words 'adal' meaning 'noble' and 'heit' meaning 'character' or 'nature.' The name Adelaide, from which Alida was derived, was popularized by the Holy Roman Empress - Adelaide of Burgundy, known as the wife of the Holy Roman Emperor 'Otto the Great’. Another person in history responsible for the popular name is Adelaide of Burgundy, the wife of King William IV after whom, the city of Adelaide in Australia was named. The Hebrew origin of the name suggests that Adalia was one of the ten sons of Haman who were killed by the Jews. Adalia is also the scientific name for a genus of ladybugs."
Well, personally as a Christian, I would first look at the Bible. Yes, I agree that Adalia is a masculine term. I received a book just yesterday, it's called the "ZONDERVAN NIV NAVE'S TOPICAL BIBLE". This book helps Christians to understand the Bible much better and I referred to this name, he's a son of Haman. Of course, I have no intention to offend any non-believer or pre-believer here at BehindTheName. But, I would still look at what has been considered, a German feminine term for the name "Adalia".
It's a biblically masculine name, just like how Elijah, Isaiah, Hezekiah, Jebediah and Josiah are masculine. Like: Ad-a-lie'-ya. I like it. It would also be pretty for a girl pronounced Ad-a'-lee-a.
While the Hebrew origins/meaning/gender/pronunciation is true, there's another Adalia that's seperate from the Hebrew name. Adalia, pronounced Uh-DAHL-yuh, is a female German name meaning "noble one".
