Adalaya

Meaning of Adalaya

Adalaya is a contemporary feminine name that most likely evolved as a lyrical offshoot of traditional Germanic names like Adelaide or Adalyn, built on the Old High German root “adal,” meaning “noble.” In the United States, it has shown a gradual uptick in use—26 newborn girls received the name in 2024, placing it at rank 924, compared with just 20 in 2023 (rank 938) and 17 in 2022 (rank 927). Pronounced uh-DAH-lie-uh (/əˈdʌliə/) in American English, Adalaya fits comfortably within the Anglo-American naming landscape while offering a subtly distinct alternative to more familiar choices. Though its exact beginnings are not documented, the name evokes an image of graceful resilience, appealing to parents seeking a blend of classical resonance and modern originality.
