====Usage notes====
* {{m|de||Adolf}} was one of the most popular names between 1890 and 1905, after which it began to become less common. It saw a renewed rise in popularity between 1933 and 1941, but remained below the levels of the turn of the century. Since the end of the 1940s, it became very rare; when used at all it was generally as a [[middle name]]. In the [[GDR]] it was even entirely forbidden, which means that noticeably fewer {{m|de||Adolfs}} live in that region than in other German-speaking areas. In 2006, there was 1 baby in a sample of 27&nbsp;700 who was given the middle name {{m|de||Adolf}}.<ref>[https://www.beliebte-vornamen.de/4501-adolf.htm Adolf] at ''beliebte-vornamen.de''</ref> As of 1998, there lived about about 75&nbsp;000 Germans named {{m|de||Adolf}}.
