Meanings

A female given name: from a Germanic word meaning “nobility.”.

Adelaide is the English form of a Germanic given name, from the Old High German Adalheidis, meaning "noble natured".
The modern German form is Adelheid, famously the first name of Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, queen consort to William IV of the United Kingdom, for whom many places throughout the former British Empire were named.
The French form is Adélaïde or Adélaide and a Czech form is Adléta. The name Addie is a diminutive of Adelaide and Heidi is a nickname for Adelheid which became internationally popular on its own as a result of Johanna Spyri's novel Heidi (1880).

Fem. proper name, from French Adélaide, from a Germanic source similar to Old High German Adalhaid, from adal "noble family" (see atheling) + German heit "state, rank," which is related to Old English -had "person, degree, state, nature" (see -hood). The first element affixed to French fem. ending -ine gave Adeline.

Noble kind; of the noble sort.
