I named my daughter Sarah Adele, after my grandmother. We call her Adele and I heard it comes from Udle- like "uh-dl," which was the name of the Ba'al Shem Tov's daughter.

Does anyone know more about the name Adele or Udle?

That's interesting. I didn't know the spelling. I know the second day of Shavuous was his Yeirtziet, and I think his b-day was the same. Adele was born a little before Shavuous.

Adel/Odel/Udel/Eidel is a Yiddish name meaning refined.
The English name Adele comes from the same Germanic root.



Quote:
Jews are meant to be Aidel - refined, in their dress code, language, and general behavior.

really? that's so cool! I had a classmate adele, pronounced a-DELL, whom we used to tease by calling AY-dl (her hebrew name was Ida) just as we called Belle BAYleh (when we were being nice and not calling her Belly, of course.)
