Adel is a given name of ancient European origins that evolved from words meaning «noble», «nobility» or «elite».[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]
It is derived primarily from the languages of north-western Europe, which include English, French, Luxembourgish, German, Dutch, Frisian, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Faroese, and Icelandic. Today, «Adel» is a gender-neutral given name and short form of given names with this combining element.[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]
Nordic variants of the name include Ådel, Ädel, Ádel, and Ædel. German and Dutch variants of the name include Adal and Edel. French variants of the name include Édel and Adél (not to be confused with Adèle). Adelson and Adelaide are notable masculine and feminine forms. Adelle (Adèle) is a popular feminine alternative.[26][27][28][5]
Although global, Adel remains prominent in north-western European countries. It can also be found as a family name with or without an affix (such as de Adel, den Adel, or van Adel).
The earliest known woman with the name was Princess Adel of Liege (born c. 632 AD). The earliest known man with the name was King Adel of Sweden (born c. 572 AD). His son’s name was Adelson[29]<[30][31] The legendary king of the Frisians and founder of the kingdom, Friso, had a son named Adel (later king of Frisia), supposedly born in the 3rd century BC.[32]
Adel is an exemplar of a monothematic name. It is also the root of the names Adelais, Aderic, Adolf, Albert, and Alice, and their variants in other languages.
It is not related to the Arabic name Adil, also spelled Adel, which derives from the root ‘ādil, meaning just or equitable.[33]
Origins[edit]
Ancient words[edit]
The name derives from Old Dutch «ōþil«, Old German «adal«, Old Norse «aðal«, Old French «œ̄ðel«, and Old English «æðel» by evolution of proto-Germanic «aþalą» (meaning «noble» and «kin») and «ōþilą» (meaning «inheritance» and «rule of the land»).[34][35][36][37][38]
Today, «adel» is used throughout much of north-western Europe as the word for nobility.[39][40][41][42][43]
Popularity[edit]
Globally[edit]
Adel was found over 4,000 times as a family name and over 15,000 times as a given name in 55 different countries. It is a relatively rare name. Aside from Nordic countries, it is most prominent in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Russia.[44][45][46]

Early life and education
Adele Laurie Blue Adkins[8] was born on 5 May 1988 in the Tottenham district of London, to an English mother, Penny Adkins, and a Welsh father, Marc Evans.[9] Evans left when Adele was 2, and she was brought up by her mother.[10][11] She began singing at age 4 and asserts that she became obsessed with voices.[12][13] In 1997, 9-year-old Adele and her mother, who by then had found work as a furniture maker and an adult-learning activities organiser, relocated to Brighton on the south coast of England.[14]
In 1999, she and her mother moved back to London; first to Brixton, then to the neighbouring district of West Norwood in south London, which is the subject of her first song «Hometown Glory».[15] She spent much of her youth in Brockwell Park where she would play the guitar and sing to friends, which she recalled in her 2015 song «Million Years Ago». She stated, «It has quite monumental moments of my life that I’ve spent there, and I drove past it [in 2015] and I just literally burst into tears. I really missed it.»[16] Adele graduated from the BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology in Croydon in May 2006,[17] where she was a classmate of Leona Lewis and Jessie J.[8][18] Adele credits the school with nurturing her talent[19] even though, at the time, she was more interested in going into artists and repertoire (A&R) and hoped to launch other people’s careers.[8]
Career
2006–2010: Career beginnings and 19
Four months after graduation, Adele published two songs on the fourth issue of the online arts publication PlatformsMagazine.com.[20] She had recorded a three-song demo for a class project and given it to a friend.[8] The friend posted the demo on Myspace, where it became very successful and led to a phone call from Richard Russell, boss of the music label XL Recordings. She doubted if the offer was real because the only record company she knew was Virgin Records, and she took a friend with her to the meeting.[18][21] Around this time, Adele collaborated with Ricsta on «Be Divine», a song described as an «electronic club-ready» track.[22]
Nick Huggett, at XL, recommended Adele to manager Jonathan Dickins at September Management, and in June 2006, Dickins became her official representative.[23] September was managing Jamie T at the time and this proved a major draw for Adele, a big fan of the British singer-songwriter. Huggett then signed Adele to XL in September 2006.[23] Adele provided vocals for Jack Peñate’s song, «My Yvonne,» for his debut album, and it was during this session she first met producer Jim Abbiss, who would go on to produce both the majority of her debut album, 19, and tracks on 21.[24] In June 2007, Adele made her television debut, performing «Daydreamer» on the BBC’s Later… with Jools Holland.[25] Adele’s breakthrough song, «Hometown Glory», written when she was 16, was released in October 2007.[23]
By 2008, Adele had become the headliner and performed an acoustic set, in which she was supported by Damien Rice.[26] She became the first recipient of the Brit Awards Critics’ Choice and was named the number-one predicted breakthrough act of 2008 in an annual BBC poll of music critics, Sound of 2008.[27][28] She released her second single, «Chasing Pavements», on 14 January 2008, two weeks ahead of her debut album. The song reached number two on the UK Chart, and stayed there for four weeks.[29] The album 19, named for her age at the time she wrote and composed many of its songs, entered the British charts at number one.

In her teens, Adele would listen to Etta James while developing and practicing her singing abilities.

She has also expressed admiration for Lana Del Rey, Grimes, Chvrches, FKA Twigs, Alabama Shakes, Kanye West, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Frank Ocean, Queen, and Stevie Nicks.[229][230] In 2017, she described Beyoncé as a particular inspiration, calling her «[the] artist of my life» and added «the other artists who mean that much to me are all dead.»[231] Adele cited Madonna’s 1998 album Ray of Light as a «chief inspiration» for her album 25.[232] She stated that the release of 25 and her own comeback was inspired by the enigmatic Kate Bush who in 2014 made a comeback to the stage 35 years after her last live shows from her only tour in 1979.[233] Adele mentioned that Max Martin’s work on Taylor Swift’s «I Knew You Were Trouble» was the inspiration behind her song «Send My Love (To Your New Lover)», saying: «I was like, ‘Who did this?’ I knew it was Taylor, and I’ve always loved her, but this is a totally other side – like, ‘I want to know who brought that out in her.’ I was unaware that I knew who Max Martin was. I Googled him, and I was like, ‘He’s literally written every massive soundtrack of my life.’ So I got my management to reach out. They came to London, and I took my guitar along and was like, ‘I’ve got this riff,’ and then ‘Send My Love’ happened really quickly.»[234]
Musical style
Adele’s debut album, 19, is of the soul genre, with lyrics addressing heartbreak and relationship.[19] Her success occurred simultaneously with several other British female soul singers, with the British press dubbing her a new Amy Winehouse.[8] This was described as a third British Musical Invasion of the US.[18] However, Adele called the comparisons between her and other female soul singers lazy, noting «we’re a gender, not a genre».[19][235][236] AllMusic wrote that «Adele is simply too magical to compare her to anyone.»[227]
Her second album, 21, shares the folk and soul influences of her debut album, but was further inspired by American country and Southern blues music to which she had been exposed during her 2008–09 tour An Evening with Adele in North America.[237][238] Conceived in the aftermath of Adele’s breakup with a partner, the album typifies the near dormant tradition of the confessional singer-songwriter in its exploration of heartbreak, self-examination, and forgiveness. Having referred to 21 as a «break-up record», Adele labelled her third studio album, 25, a «make-up record», adding it is about «Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did.»[121] Her yearning for her old self, her nostalgia, and melancholy about the passage of time, is a feature of 25, with Adele stating, «I’ve had a lot of regrets since I turned 25. And sadness hits me in different ways than it used to. There’s a lot of things I don’t think I’ll ever get ’round to doing.»[239]
Voice
«Clutching a Brits Critics’ Choice Award before she’d even released her debut album, Adele had what seems like pre-ordained success, but it never would have happened without her extraordinary voice. Appropriately, her big, smoky pipes enter tonight before she does – singing from the wings, before she suddenly emerges, cackling «Awright Leeds.» These first few seconds encapsulate her special connection with the public. A peculiar mixture of the sublime and the mundane. One minute she’s adding an eerie tremor to the lyric «Of my world», the next she’s explaining to the people pondering aloud just how one might Set Fire to the Rain, that the song was inspired «when mah lightah stopped workin'» in the wet.»
—Dave Simpson of The Guardian on Adele’s voice and down to earth persona.[240]
Adele is a mezzo-soprano, with a range spanning from B2 to C6. However Classic FM states she is often mistaken for a contralto due to the application of a tense chest mix to reach the lower notes, while also noting that her voice becomes its clearest as she ascends the register, particularly from C4 to C5.[241][242][243][244] Rolling Stone reported that following throat surgery her voice had become «palpably bigger and purer-toned», and that she had added a further four notes to the top of her range.[239] Initially, critics suggested that her vocals were more developed and intriguing than her songwriting, a sentiment with which Adele agreed.[245] She has stated: «I taught myself how to sing by listening to Ella Fitzgerald for acrobatics and scales, Etta James for passion and Roberta Flack for control.»[246]
Adele’s singing has received acclaim from music critics. In a review of 19, The Observer stated, «The way she stretched the vowels, her wonderful soulful phrasing, the sheer unadulterated pleasure of her voice, stood out all the more; little doubt that she’s a rare singer».[247] BBC Music wrote, «Her melodies exude warmth, her singing is occasionally stunning and, …she has tracks that make Lily Allen and Kate Nash sound every bit as ordinary as they are.»[248] Also in 2008, Sylvia Patterson of The Guardian wrote, «Of all the gobby new girls, only Adele’s bewitching singing voice has the enigmatic quality which causes tears of involuntary emotion to splash down your face in the way Eva Cassidy’s did before her.»[249] For their reviews of 21, The New York Times‘ chief music critic Jon Pareles commended Adele’s emotive timbre, likening her to Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, and Annie Lennox: «[Adele] can seethe, sob, rasp, swoop, lilt and belt, in ways that draw more attention to the song than to the singer».[250] Ryan Reed of Paste magazine regarded her voice as «a raspy, aged-beyond-its-years thing of full-blooded beauty»,[251] while MSN Music’s Tom Townshend called her «the finest singer of [our] generation».[252] Adele has also been dubbed a «vocal goddess».[253]
Personal life
In 2011, Adele began a relationship with charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki.[254] Their son was born on 19 October 2012.[255] On the topic of becoming a parent, Adele said she «felt like I was truly living. I had a purpose, where before I didn’t».[256] Adele and Konecki brought a privacy case against a UK-based photo agency that published intrusive paparazzi images of their son taken during family outings in 2013.[257] Lawyers working on their behalf accepted damages from the company in July 2014.[258] Adele has also opened up about suffering from postnatal depression, anxiety, and panic attacks.[259][260]
In early 2017, tabloids started speculating that Adele and Konecki had secretly married when they were spotted wearing matching rings on their ring fingers.[261] During her acceptance speech at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards for Album of the Year, Adele seemed to have confirmed these reports by referring to Konecki as «my husband» when thanking him.[262] She repeated this in March 2017, telling the audience at a concert in Brisbane, Australia, «I’m married now».[263] However, in a 2021 interview with British Vogue, she revealed that they actually married in 2018, and separated the same year.[264] During this time, Adele became a stay-at-home mother.[265] In April 2019, Adele’s representatives confirmed the separation via Associated Press, and affirmed that she and Konecki would continue to raise their son together.[266][267] On 13 September 2019, it was reported that Adele had filed for divorce from Konecki in the US.[268] Their divorce was finalised on 4 March 2021.[269] In 2021, Adele entered a relationship with American sports agent Rich Paul.[264][270]
Politically, she is a supporter of the Labour Party, saying in 2011 that she was a «Labour girl through and through», and in the same interview was critical of the Conservative Party.[271] Despite this declared political alignment, Adele received backlash for her comments on paying taxes during a 2011 interview with Q magazine. She said, «I use the NHS, I can’t use public transport any more, doing what I do, I went to state school, I’m mortified to have to pay 50 percent! Trains are always late, most state schools are shit and I’ve gotta give you like four million quid, are you having a laugh? When I got my tax bill in from 19 I was ready to go and buy a gun and randomly open fire.»[272][273]
Born in the North London district of Tottenham, Adele supports local football club Tottenham Hotspur.[274]
In 2015, Adele said, «I’m a feminist, I believe that everyone should be treated the same, including race and sexuality».[232] Supportive of the LGBT community, on 12 June 2016, an emotional Adele dedicated her show in Antwerp, Belgium, to the victims of the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, United States, earlier that day, adding, «The LGBTQ community, they’re like my soul mates since I was really young, so I’m very moved by it.»[275][276]
In April 2018, it was widely reported that Adele had become an ordained minister in order to officiate at close friend comedian Alan Carr’s wedding to Paul Drayton, something which Adele herself subsequently confirmed. The wedding, held in January 2018, took place in the garden of her house in Los Angeles, California.[277] Adele’s close friends include Nicole Richie,[278] Jennifer Lawrence, Cameron Diaz, Emma Stone,[279] Laura Dockrill,[280] Lauren and Aaron Paul,[281] James Corden,[282] and Elton John, among others.[283] Drake called Adele «One of [his] best friends in the world».[284]

Impact

K. Rowling, The Beatles, Charlie Chaplin and Elton John.[322][323]
Richard Russell, the founder of record label XL Recordings, complimented Adele that she had the potential to change the way women were seen in the music industry by focusing on music rather than sexuality.[324] The New Yorker called her «the most popular living soul singer in the world» at 27-years-old.[325] Writing for Vulture, Jillian Mapes opined that Adele is «among the first plus-size female cultural icons to reach the highest echelons of commercial success without having to make herself the butt of fat jokes along the way».[326] Time journalist Sam Lansky described her as «a voice for every generation» and further stated that «Adele bridges pop music’s past and its future». Lansky wrote that Adele, by choosing to sound like the past, goes in an opposite direction in mainstream music when her contemporaries «try to sound simultaneously like each other» and follow trends.[327] Billboard credited Adele for reviving the music industry in 2011, the year of 21‘s release, and wrote: «She was a unique presence not only in 2011, but in all of 21st century pop: a preternaturally gifted singer and songwriter with a leave-it-all-on-the-floor approach to recording and performing — and also an earthy, relatable, and strangely unassuming personality both on and off the stage».[328] Junkee and Consequence of Sound credited her for revitalizing pop music and heralding «a new era of relatable pop» due to the critical and commercial success of 21.[329][330] In an article about how music from 2011 defined pop music, Junkee also credited Adele for reviving the breakup ballad music, paving the way for young artists like Olivia Rodrigo to utilize some elements of pop ballads that she did into their own music.[331] In a 2021 article from The Daily Telegraph, James Hall wrote that «a new Adele album isn’t just a release − it’s a global cultural event».[332] Rolling Stone writers observed that «She has written more modern pop standards than anyone else in her generation, each single becoming an instant classic.»[333]
