What is Adele's full name?

Adele's full name is Adele Laurie Blue Adkins.

She was born on 5 May 1988 in Tottenham, London, England. Her mother, Penny Adkins, raised her after Adele's Welsh father, Marc Evans, left when she was two. Adele later adopted her middle names as part of the public identity attached to her music career.

Adele began singing at age four and studied at the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology, where fellow students included Leona Lewis and Jessie J. Her breakthrough came after a friend posted her demos on Myspace, leading to a recording contract with XL Recordings.

A common mix-up is treating “Adele” as a shortened version of another name. It is her professional mononym, while Adele Laurie Blue Adkins is the full name listed in biographies and reference works. Her surname is Adkins, not Adams or Adeline.
