Adlığ suggests a historical formation moving from having a name toward being known or renowned. Its sense can be compared with modern Turkish adlı and ünlü; however, the final ğ alone does not identify the source or period of the form, so a documented spelling is important.

The form is probably related to historical Turkic formations from at or ad, name, with the possessive suffix -lıg. The period and transcription convention underlying the spelling Adlığ need separate identification.
