What is the first name of Adele’s mother, Penny Adkins? Her first name is Penny.
Adele’s mother is Penny Adkins, who raised Adele largely as a single parent after Adele’s Welsh father, Marc Evans, left when Adele was two years old. Penny worked as a furniture maker and later as an adult-learning activities organiser.
Penny and Adele moved from London to Brighton in 1997, when Adele was nine. They returned to London in 1999, living in Brixton and then West Norwood. Those places became important settings in Adele’s early life and later songwriting.
The question itself includes the mother’s full name, so the answer is directly signposted rather than requiring biographical inference. “Susan,” “Helen” and “Patricia” are not supported alternatives. Adele has often discussed her close relationship with her mother, who encouraged her interests while bringing her up.
