The Name Adel and Its Meaning

Greetings,

The name Adel is good for a daughter, and this is how the Baal Shem Tov, of blessed memory, named his daughter. It appears that the meaning of the name is "noble" or "respected."

In any case, if in your environment the name is uncommon and seems somewhat unusual, it is recommended to give her another name that she will feel comfortable with (as Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, may he live long, wrote in his book Taama D'Kra, page 178, letter 31, citing the advice of the late Chazon Ish, of blessed memory, who recommended not giving a slightly unusual name so that the child will not feel embarrassed when she grows up).

With blessings,

Hillel Meirs
