Adelaide, capital of South Australia, was named after Queen Adelaide, a German princess. She was the wife of William IV, the English king who reigned from 1830 until he died in 1837.
Adelaide's full name was Adelheid Amalie Luise Theresa Carolin of Saxe-Meiningen. After she married the heir to the British throne in July 1818, she changed the spelling of her name, anglicising it from Adelheid to Adelaide.
The name for the new city was chosen by the English authorities, but selecting the site, surveying the Adelaide Plains and planning the city and naming its streets and squares was done by Colonel William Light.
