During the 19th and early 20th century, Adolf was a common name for babies in German speaking countries. However, because of negative associations with the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, it has become rare as a given name for males since the end of World War II. It remains common among people born before the war, who are now elderly. Adolf Dassler, the founder of Adidas, ended up using the nickname 'Adi' in his professional life and for the name of his company.
