About Adaine
Created for the show Dimension 20: Fantasy High, a blend of high-school drama, 80s movie tropes, and Dungeons & Dragons, Adaine was likely inspired by names such as Adeline, Adelaine, and Ada, all drawn from the Germanic adal element, meaning "noble".
Adaine might be attributed the same meaning, however, it may also be viewed as a twist on the Welsh word adain meaning "wing" (as in, a bird's wing). This could seem unlikely to some, however, the character bears the surname Abernant, which is a Welsh place name.
It may even be a remix of Aidan ("little fiery one"); a twist on the Arabic Adane ("to settle") or Adan ("Eden"); or a spin on the Irish Aideen or Éadaoin ("jealousy, possession").
Yet to see much real life usage, fans of the show may be inspired to consider it as an alternative to Adeline and Adelaide in the future.
