Adelean is a unique and distinctive name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name Aemilius, which means 'rival' or 'to strive for'. This name has a rich historical background, as it was borne by several notable figures in ancient Rome, including Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, one of the Triumvirs who ruled Rome after Julius Caesar's assassination. In some variations, Adelean is also associated with the Latin word 'aequus', meaning 'equal' or 'fair'. While it is not a particularly common name today, Adelean offers an elegant and sophisticated choice for those seeking a unique moniker with a strong historical foundation.
"Adelean was quite popular in 1915, with five newborns that year."
