Hi Lexi, so far Lisa has given you the most approximate transliteration of Adelina into Chinese. This is just a complementary answer to hers. Below are the constituent parts of the name 愛德林娜:

愛 (ài) basically means Love
德 (dé) basically means Virtue
林 (lín) the Forests and Woodlands
娜 (nà) in this case, a common Chinese character used for female names

Actually, the third character 林 may also be replaced by 琳 (lín, same pronunciation and intonation as 林, and meaning jade or gem.) Here, click on the links below in a consecutive manner. For each entry (page,) click on the Speaker button (found right beside the Chinese Character entry) to hear how each of these should be uttered, then string them together in one single verbal flow. Get the hang of it, and begin showing off (^_^).
