Adolphus Meaning
Latinized form of Adolf. Adolphus is a variant of Adolf. The name Adolf comes from two Germanic words - "adel", which means "distinguished or noble", and "wulf", which means "wolf". It was common in Germany to use the name Wulf in their names to denote a warrior who has distinguished himself in battle. The name Adolf has however fallen out of usage after World War II due to its negative associations with Adolf Hitler.
