Adelaid is a unique and elegant name of German origin, derived from the ancient Germanic elements 'adal' meaning noble, and 'heid' signifying kind or bright. This name was popular among royalty during the Middle Ages, with notable bearers including Adelaide of Italy, who became the queen consort of Germany in 951 AD. It is also the name of a city in Australia, Adelaide, founded in 1836 as the seat of government for the colony of South Australia. Today, Adelaid remains a rare and distinctive name, often associated with sophistication and grace.
"Adelaid was quite popular as a baby girl's name in 1921, with five newborns sharing it that year."
