Adele
Adele ♀ From French
Adèle, an ancient name popular in medieval Europe because of the fame of a 7th-century saint, a daughter of the Frankish king Dagobert II. It is of Germanic origin, from
adal ‘noble’ (a short form of a two-element name such as
Adelheid; see
Adelaide). It was the name of William the Conqueror's youngest daughter (
c.1062–1137), who became the wife of Stephen of Blois. However, it died out in England in the later Middle Ages. It was revived in the 19th century, being the name of a character in Johann Strauss's opera
Die Fledermaus. Its popularity was further reinforced in the 1930s as the name of a character in the novels of Dornford Yates.
