Adele (also spelled Adèle, Adelle or Adle) Forms of different names but are used as equivalents: Fin, Alina, Aleteia, Alicia. The santoral says Delia is also a name equivalent, but its etymology is different: from the Greek Delos (Aegean island where the oracle of Apollo manifested). Means "manifesting".
Its male form is the Germanic given name Adel. It should not be confused with the Arabic variant of Adel, which has a different pronunciation.
Adele may be spelled without the "e" on the end, as with Adel Rootstein. An Arabic female name which is even used in Persian, is Adeleh.
It is also used as a spelling variant of the Yiddish name Edel.
