Adolfa is spelled with an "f" instead of the more commonly used "ph" because its origin is Latin rather than Greek. The IPA phonetic transcription for Adolfa is /əˈdɒlfə/, with the stress placed on the second syllable. This name has gained notoriety due to its association with Adolf Hitler, the former Chancellor of Germany infamous for his role in World War II and the Holocaust. As a result, the name Adolfa is rarely used today.
The etymology of the word "Adolfa" is derived from a Germanic given name "Adolf". "Adolf" is composed of the elements "adal" meaning "noble" and "wulf" meaning "wolf". Therefore, "Adolfa" is the feminine form of the name "Adolf" and carries the same meaning, essentially signifying a "noble wolf".
