Meaning & origin
Adalie is a modern American name that first appeared in the Social Security Administration's records in 1990. Its trajectory has been rising since 1991, reaching its peak popularity in 2023. In the latest year of data, 2025, it ranked 1769th, with about 1 in 14,099 girls receiving the name. The name is most popular in Arizona, California, and Texas, reflecting its appeal in diverse, sunbelt states. Adalie aligns with the trend of soft, feminine names ending in -ie, similar to Adeline and Addie, but remains uncommon enough that a child named Adalie is unlikely to share the name with many classmates.
Adalie is a modern coinage that first appeared in the United States in 1990. It likely combines the fashionable -lie suffix with the name Ada, which itself derives from the Germanic element adal meaning 'noble,' or it may be a respelling of Adeline or Adelaide. Its sudden rise in popularity in the early 1990s suggests it was influenced by naming trends rather than a traditional source.
