From German

Adaline means noble — the same Germanic root as Adeline, but with a single-I spelling that was immortalised in the 2015 film The Age of Adaline, where Blake Lively plays a woman who stops aging after a near-death experience. The film gave this exact spelling its cultural moment. It carries the same vintage elegance as Adeline with a slightly different visual identity.
