Adalee is a first name for girls.
The name Adalee isn’t among the current fashionable names in our top 10 stats, but nonetheless, it’s still very popular and common. In our SmartGenius ranking of all girls names, Adalee ranks 894. Recently, out of every 10,000 newborn girls, approximately 2 were named Adalee. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Adalee.
It first appeared in the 1910s but has been very rare for 100 years: Adalee is a combination of the names Ada and Lee. The first was originally a short form of Germanic names like [Adalheidis], with ‘adal’ meaning ‘noble’. Lee was an English surname meaning ‘clearing’. In conclusion, Adalee would stand for ‘noble clearing’.
Some see Adalee as... a modern form of the masculine Hebrew name Adalia, which appears in the Bible and is of unknown meaning.
Adalee is a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, the name wasn't really on the radar of expectant parents. Then, unexpectedly, Adalee cried out for attention, reaching its peak in popularity at #612 in our SmartGenius statistics in the year 2022. People over 50 probably didn't have classmates named Adalee, for there were many years in which not a single parent chose this first name for their daughter. Although it also has never been in the top 100 of most popular first names, Adalee seems to have been in vogue for a while, especially since the beginning of the new millennium.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Adalee was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
You may not know anyone named Adalee, but there’s a good chance you live in the same state as someone with that name. In fact, 38 states are home to women and girls named Adalee. (To be fair, a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s entirely possible that there are still a few women and girls named Adalee living in one state or another. If your name is Adalee and you live outside of the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can refine our statistics even further). And while the first name is present in many states, it is still not one of the popular ones. In Texas, which has the most people named Adalee relative to the population, you still have to ask 22,592 women and girls their names before you hear Adalee as an answer just once.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for girls’ names. 11.8% of all common girls’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in girls' names is S.
With six letters, the name Adalee is of average length. In fact, 28% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly six letters. 24% of all first names are shorter, while 48% have seven letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 11.8% of all girls' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs over three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the girls' names that begin with the letter A, the name Ashley is the most common.
If your name is Adalee and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
