Edeline

Meaning of Edeline

Edeline is a feminine name of Old French origin, a variant of Adeline ultimately rooted in the Germanic element adal, meaning “noble.” Pronounced ED-uh-leen (/ˈɛdəlin/), it carries an air of quiet refinement without veering into ostentation. In the United States, Edeline has remained a distinctively rare choice—17 newborns received the name in 2024 (rank 933), with annual tallies consistently in the low teens and rankings hovering around the 900s since the early 2000s. Its modest popularity ensures that few school rosters will ever list more than one Edeline, making it an appealing option for parents seeking a name both elegant and reserved.
