The name Adelheid, coming from Ancient Germanic Adelheidis, means "the noble type." Branching off Adelheid we get Adelaide, Adela / Adele, Adeline, etc. And also Heidi - initially a diminutive, but now firmly established as its own name (kind of like Sally, Sadie, Eliza, etc.).

This got me thinking: Heidi, by itself, technically just means "kind, sort, type" of something. Consequently, Adeline is "noble" with a French suffix. So... would Heidi Adeline work, as a combo? Or is it still etymologically redundant?
