Meaning & History
Derived from the Old German elements adal meaning "noble" and heim meaning "home".It is quite possible that this name existed; it simply has not been attested with absolute certainty, as the actual name of the men in question could just as easily be Adalhelm instead. In other words: so far, the name has proven to be very difficult to separate from Adalhelm.
