Adalin

Meaning & origin

Adalin is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2003, reflecting the ongoing trend of creating new names from familiar elements. It likely combines the classic name Ada, derived from the Germanic 'adal' meaning 'noble,' with the popular -lin suffix that has boosted names like Evelyn and Madelyn. Adalin reached its peak rank of 7,133 in 2016, when approximately 1 in 107,151 girls received the name, but has since declined in use. The name's trajectory shows a consistent fall from that peak, indicating it may be a short-lived trend rather than a lasting favorite. Although Adalin is recorded in all parts of the country, it has no top states where it is especially concentrated, suggesting broad but thin distribution.
