Origin: FrenchIn Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Adelaide yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Old Germanic, means noble kind. It was a queen's name and a city's name and my great-grandmother's name before either of those mattered to me. It's hers now too.
— Michelle, Indianapolis IN, 2020
We call her Addie. We'll call her Adelaide when she's in trouble. Right now at age three she's in trouble enough that we use the full name with some frequency.
— James, St. Louis MO, 2021
