An archaic term for a male given name; historically used as a personal name (variant of Adolph or Adolf).
An old English spelling variant or nickname form related to Germanic names like Adolph, from 'adal' (noble) and 'wolf' (wolf), meaning 'noble wolf.' Different regions and time periods used various spelling forms.
Medieval and old English documents show people had way more spelling variations for names than we do now—'Adod' might be how someone spelled or nicknamed 'Adolph' in their village, with no standard spelling rules.
