Usage notes
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 de Adolfs live in that region than in other German-speaking areas. In 2006, there was 1 baby in a sample of 27 700 who was given the middle name de Adolf.Adolf at beliebte-vornamen.de As of 1998, there lived about about 75 000 Germans named de Adolf.
