MEANING & HISTORY
What does Adelfa mean?
The exact name field documents Adelfa. Separately, the Royal Spanish Academy records adelfa as the flowering shrub oleander, with a word history through Hispanic Arabic and Arabic ultimately from Greek daphne, laurel.
This is an exact floral word reading, not proof that every name comes from that word rather than a separate name tradition.
