Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia a medzinárodné súvislosti: Behind the Name, heslo Adelaide; maďarská podoba: Magyar-román, román-magyar összehasonlító keresztnévszótár. Slovenské domácke podoby sú doložené pri príbuznom mene Adela v Slovníku slovenského jazyka VI, oddiel Osobné mená; ich použitie pri mene Adelaida je analogické, nie samostatne doložené týmto heslom. Skloňovanie je odvodené od vzoru žena podľa Morfológie slovenského jazyka. Nejde o posudok JÚĽŠ SAV ani Milana Majtána.
