A male given name of Germanic origin meaning 'noble wolf.'
From Old German 'Adal' (noble) + 'wolf' (wolf). It was a popular name in Germanic cultures for centuries before becoming historically darkened by association.
The name Adolf was once common and respected in German-speaking countries, but after World War II, it nearly disappeared from use—a rare example of how one person's actions can change the entire social meaning of a word.
