Adolfo

Adolfo is a Spanish and Italian name derived from the Germanic name 'Adolf', which is composed of the elements 'ath' meaning 'noble' and 'wolf' meaning 'wolf'.

The name Adolf was popular among the Germanic tribes and was later introduced to other parts of Europe through the spread of Christianity. In Spain and Italy, it evolved into the form Adolfo.

While the name has a Germanic origin, its meaning of 'noble wolf' is not directly related to the Spanish or Italian cultures. However, the name has been widely used in these regions for centuries and has gained cultural significance over time.

In modern times, Adolfo is primarily used as a masculine name, although it can also be given to girls in some cases. It is a traditional name that has maintained a steady popularity in Spanish- and Italian-speaking countries.
