Girl
Adelina
Adelina means "Italian/Spanish elaboration of Adele" and comes from Italian, giving it real etymological depth as a girl's name. It shows no signs of slowing down, reaching new highs in the 2010s. In the current registry, it is uncommon enough to feel personal. It has quietly persisted through most of the last century of American birth records.
