Adolf m
German: composed of the Germanic elements adal noble + wolf wolf. This form of the name was first introduced into Britain by the Normans, displacing the Old English cognate Æthelwulf, but it did not become at all common until it was reintroduced by the Hanoverians in the 18th century. The association with Adolf Hitler (1889–1945) has meant that the name has hardly been used since the Second World War.
