Origin and meaning of Adelina
Adelina is an affectionate diminutive of Adele, from the Germanic adal, 'noble, of illustrious lineage,' softened by the ending -ina. The name evokes belonging to a distinguished house and the worth that comes with it. Common in Italy since the nineteenth century, it appears in related forms across Spain and the German-speaking world, where it stays tied to medieval aristocratic tradition. It keeps an elegant, gently old-fashioned charm many parents adore.
