Both spellings are permissible, Adaptor is preferred in UK, Adapter in US English. And since we go with US spelling in APIs and documentation, Adapter would indeed be correct.

Thinking more about the name, perhaps the “Item” is not important:

* we have QAbstractListModel and QAbstractTableModel (not QAbstractList/TableItemModel)
* we have QSqlQueryModel - again no Item
* in a QGenericItemModel, there are no items - there is just a begin/end iterator that can be dereferenced

So, perhaps QRangeModel is good/long/clear enough? “Range” is well defined C++ concept (literally), and Model is a well established concept in Qt.
