Name Meaning
Usual (hypercorrected) spelling of German Adolf , which was first introduced into Britain by the Normans, displacing the Old English equivalent Æthelwulf (‘noble’ + ‘wolf ’). It did not become at all common, however, until it was reintroduced by the Hanoverians in the 18th century. The association with Adolf Hitler ( 1889–1945 ) has meant that the name has been little used since the Second World War. The Latinized form Adolphus has been a recurring name in the Swedish royal family and has also been used occasionally in the English-speaking world.
