Adaly f. Uncertain. Possibly related to Alice or Adeline.

Our sole example of the name, from SDHK no. 10938, contains a footnote indicating that the SDHK editors have not previously come across this name, and that it may be a derivative of either Adeliza or Adhelin, Swedish forms of Alice and Adeline, respectively.
