Noble root, in the Adeline-related name tradition.
The exact Adalynn entry identifies an Adeline variant and separately allows an Ada-plus-lynn formation. Adeline leads through Adela and Adele to a Germanic noble element. This is a name-family interpretation, not a literal translation of every modern spelling component. Ada also has a separate Adah-related history; no automatic lake meaning is assigned to -lynn.
Origin
Adeline-related respelling, also interpreted as Ada plus -lynn.
The reviewed English entry explicitly gives both formation possibilities. They are retained separately; neither determines every family’s naming intention.
