Origin: German

Meaning: noble or majestic wolf

Adolph is a German masculine name emboldened with unmistakable ferocity. Born from the Old High German Athalwolf, Adolph comprises the elements adal, "noble" or "battle," and wulfaz, "wolf." History has dampened the name with negative connotations, but its etymology reveals a remarkable majesty. Not content with nobility alone, Adolph's stringent ties to the loyal animal demonstrate an admirable nature that is equal parts protective and compassionate.
