Adelaide is the English form of a Germanic given name, from the Old High German ''Adalheidis'', meaning "noble natured". The modern German form is Adelheid, famously the first name of Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, queen consort to William IV of the United Kingdom, for whom many places throughout the former British Empire were named. The French form is ''Adélaïde'' or ''Adélaide'' and a Czech form is Adléta. The name ''Addie'' is a diminutive of Adelaide and ''Heidi'' is a nickname for ''Adelheid'' which became internationally popular on its own as a result of Johanna Spyri's novel ''Heidi'' (1880). People so named include: ==Nobles== * Saint Adelaide of Italy (died 999), wife of Otto the Great * Adelaide of Aquitaine (died 1004) * Adelaide of Susa (died 1091) * Adelaide del Vasto (died 1118) * Adélaide de Maurienne (1092–1154) * Adelaide of Poland (died 1211) * Adelaide of Holland (1230–1284) * Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen (1792–1849), Queen Consort of William IV of the United Kingdom * Adelaide of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg (1831–1909) Queen Consort of Miguel I of Portugal * Princess Adélaïde d'Orléans (1777–1847) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adelaide (given name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
