Adolf

Name Meaning

This name isn’t technically illegal (though “Adolf” and “Hitler” together is), but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a parent who would pick it. Not many would be brave enough to embrace the name of one of history’s most notorious dictators, but the nickname of¬†Dolf or¬†Dolph¬†could still work out. Before WWII, the name was actually fairly common in Germany, as it comes from¬†the Old High German name¬†Athalwolf, meaning “noble wolf.”
