Adele stated that many of her fans mispronounced her name for a year

• Adele’s fans have been mispronouncing her name for a year.
• She prefers a faint lilt at the end of her name to align with her North London accent.
• During a Q&A in October, she praised one fan for correctly pronouncing it.

Adele recently admitted that many of her fans had been mispronouncing her name for a year.

There’s a rumour that you’ve been pronouncing Adele’s name incorrectly.

During a recent Q&A to celebrate the release of her “I Drink Wine” music video, the Grammy-winning singer clarified the correct pronunciation of her name. The 34-year-old commended one particular admirer during her Q&A session for correctly pronouncing her name.

“Love that,” Adele raved. “She said my name perfectly!”

So, how do you correctly call Adele? While many fans have referred to her as “uh-dell,” Adele actually prefers a faint lilt at the end of her name to align with her North London accent. As she noted with a slight emphasis on the second syllable: “uh-dale.”

But if you have been pronouncing Adele’s name incorrectly, it’s nothing to worry about. After all, mentioning her full name appears to be the bigger faux pas.
