Adolf
Adolf (also spelt Adolph or Adolphe, Adolfo, and when Latinised Adolphus) is a given name with German origins.
The name is a compound derived from the Old High German Athalwolf (or Hadulf), a composition of athal, or adal, meaning "noble" (or had(u)-, meaning "battle, combat"), and wolf. The name is cognate to the Anglo-Saxon name Æthelwulf (also Eadulf or Eadwulf).

Due to negative associations with German chancellor Adolf Hitler, the adoption of the name has declined in popularity since the end of World War II.
Similar names include Lithuanian Adolfas and Latvian Ādolfs. The female forms Adolphine and Adolpha are far more rare than the male names. Adolphus can also app...

John Watt Beattie left a legacy. He started a passion for Tasmania that is still burning more than one hundred years after his death.

These photographs are an extraordinary window into our past, they can take us back in time
and show us how things have sta...
