A female given name derived from Latin or Medieval sources, possibly connected to 'ardor' or based on bird-related etymology.
Possibly derived from ardor (passion) with a feminine ending -ia, or independently formed as a variant of Medieval names; alternatively may relate to ardea with feminine modification.
This name perfectly captures the Medieval period's practice of creating elaborate feminine versions of Latin words—Ardelia sounds like something a Renaissance poet would give to the passionate heroine of a sonnet.
