Re: Hebrew name Adele
in reply to a message by G.W
Ah, no it doesn't. It comes from a Germanic word meaning "possessing inherited property", therefore, "of the nobility, noble". There is no Israelite King Adel.

He wasn’t a king in Israel in the kings list, he was a descendant of the Israelites scattered with the lost tribes and was a Frisian or Swedish King and the Son of King Friso. Adel definitely means Noble.
