Adelaide (disambiguation)

Adelaide is the English form of a Germanic given name, from Old High German "Adalheidis" "nobility".

The name "Addie" is a diminutive of Adelaide. French: "Adélaïde" or "Adélaide"; the modern German form is "Adelheid". Heidi, a nickname for Adelheid, became internationally popular on its own as a result of Johanna Spyri's novel "Heidi" (1881).
