My mother, who was born in Jerusalem (1914) into a what could be called
today the Charedi community, was named at birth Sara Aidel, "Aidel" is
Yiddish for nice, pleasant, pretty. Very soon due to her parents "zionistic
tendencies" she was called Adina (hebrew for the same as "Aidel").

"I would also like to verify the Hebrew, Russian, Yiddish equivalent to
the given name Adel/Adele. I have letters that have various English
translations for that name like Hodel/Heidel/Odel."
The Yiddish names Adel/Adele are linked to the Hebrew names Ada. One
should not make the mistake of pronouncing the Yiddish name Adele like the
English name Adele. The Yiddish name is pronounced A-de-le and is a
diminutive for the name Adel, itself a diminutive for the Hebrew (Genesis
4:19) and Yiddish name Ada. There are other variations: Ayda, Eyda, Huda,
Uda, Adelya (A-del-ya), Aydla, Eydela (Ey-de-la), Eydle, Hudya, Udl, among
others.
The Hebrew name Hadasa (Esther 2:7), which was Queen Esther's Hebrew name,
has a number of Yiddish kinuim: Hada, Hadas, Hadl, Hoda, Hodl, Hodya,
Hudl, Odl, among others.

In the reverse, my own grandmother was "Ada Leah" FRIEDMAN (b. 1880
Beltsy, Bessarabia, d. 1911 Phila.) On the manifest in 1900 she is
"Leike," on her 1906 marrige license she is "Lena," on her father's 1907
Petition she is "Elizabeth," on my mother's 1907 birth cert. she is
"Lizzy," in the 1910 census she is "Lena", on her 1911 death certificate
she is Lizzie, and on the gravestone she is "Lizzie."
There were several Adele(s) (including my sister) and one Ada named for
her.
