Adeline

This is a lovely little name of French origin meaning 'nobility'

It's lovely and old fashioned. It was brought from France to England by the Normans and lost until the Victorian Era where the rise in Gothic Literature brought it back. This has a classic feel but is quirky and different enough to make it stand out. It's similar to the name Adelaide which has been rather popular as of late. You could shorten it to Adele or Addie/Adi. It's a really versatile, cute little moniker.

Name alternatives: Abeline, Aibeleen, Adelaide, Madeline, Madeleine, Adrienne, Adele.
