Forms: also occasionally with lower-case initial.

Origin: Apparently from a proper name. Etymon: proper name Adelaide.

Etymology: Apparently < the female forename Adelaide. Earliest (e.g. in quot. 1831¹ at main sense) with reference to fashions in Paris, and also referred to in contemporary periodicals written in English as bleu-Adélaïde, but corresponding use in French has not been traced.If the colour name is French in origin, then the suggestion made in quot. 1902 at main sense that the colour was named in honour of Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen (1792–1849), queen of William IV, is perhaps less likely than that it was named in honour of Louise Marie Adélaïde Eugénie (1777–1847), commonly known as ‘Madame Adélaïde’, sister of Louis Philippe of France.

Now historical.
