Adelynne is a contemporary respelling of Adeline, itself a diminutive of Adele, which comes from the Germanic root 'adal' meaning 'noble'. Adeline entered English usage in the Middle Ages and saw a revival in the 19th century. The -lynne suffix became fashionable in the late 20th century, giving rise to variants like Adelynne.
