What does the name Adali mean?
Adali is a spelling of Adalee, pronounced the same way, so it shares Adalee's meaning and origin.
Adalee is a recent American girls' name, recorded occasionally since 1915 and much more often in recent years. No dictionary we checked documents it. It looks like a blend of Ada (or Adalyn) with -lee, an ending popular in modern names, and Ada-names often go back to Germanic adal, noble, but no source confirms Adalee's formation, so we do not give it a meaning.
How sure is this? Not documented. Undocumented modern blend.
Related names: Adaleigh, Adalyn, Ada, Adeline.
