The story of Adelynne
Adal opens an enormous number of Germanic names, and Frankish and Norman naming carried them across Europe — Adelheid became Adelaide and Alice, Adelina became Adeline. The name was well used in Victorian England and America and has returned strongly since 2010, with the American respellings multiplying: Adelyn, Adalyn, Adelynn, Adelynne.
Meaning
noble
From Germanic adal, noble; Adelina is its Latinate diminutive and Adeline the French development. The -ynne ending here is a modern American respelling of -ine or -lyn rather than an inherited element.

- counting every spelling
The SSA counts spellings, not names. Adelynne went to 38 girls in 2025, but Adeline, Adelyne and Addeline are the same name said out loud. Together the 6 spellings went to 4,009, which makes it the 66th most-given girls’ name of the year — 3,766 places above the chart.
and 2 rarer spellings.
About 1 girl in 401 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 42,297 for Adelynne itself.
Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method
