Adella

Meaning of Adella

Adella springs from the old Germanic word “adal,” meaning “noble,” and she carries that royal sparkle wherever she goes—think of a flamenco dancer twirling through a palace courtyard. In English‐speaking lands she’s said “uh-DEL-uh,” while Spanish and Italian tongues give her a soft, lyrical twist, ah-DEY-yah and ah-DEL-lah. Over a century of U.S. records shows Adella never races for the spotlight but never leaves the stage either, quietly clocking in babies year after year like a faithful heartbeat. Parents love that she feels both vintage and fresh, the sort of name that can fit a fearless entrepreneur, a kindhearted teacher, or even a mermaid sister from a certain Disney classic. With grace, a hint of old-world romance, and just enough sass to keep things interesting, Adella invites a little nobility into everyday life.
