Adélaïde

The French form of the dignified Adelaide, Adélaïde has been borne by Belgian, French, and Luxembourgish nobility, along with musician Héloïse Adélaïde Letissier. It re-entered the French Top 500 in 2019 and a recent year saw it rank at #349 alongside Lena, Aimée, and Mélia.

Ultimately derived from the Germanic Adalheidis, it means "noble kind".

Pronounced ah-day-LAHD.
