Meaning & origin
Adilene is a modern American name that first appeared on the U.S. naming charts in 1987. It reached its highest popularity in 2014, when it ranked 1652 and was given to roughly 1 in 12,858 baby girls. Since 2015, its usage has been on a downward trajectory. The name is most common in Colorado, Arizona, and California. Its etymology is uncertain; it may be a creative respelling or variant of names like Adeline, combined with the fashionable -lene suffix. Adilene remains a distinctive choice, particularly among families in the southwestern United States.
Adilene likely emerged as a modern American coinage in the late 20th century, possibly influenced by the popular suffix -lene (as in Madeline, Adeline) combined with the initial element Adi-. It does not have a clear derivation from older languages. The name has been recorded in the United States since 1987 and saw a peak in usage in 2014.
