Adulfo is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'adultus', meaning 'grown up' or 'mature'. This given name has a long history dating back to ancient Rome, where it was used as an agnomen, a nickname given based on physical appearance or personal qualities. In medieval Europe, Adulfo was quite popular among the nobility and the clergy due to its association with authority and wisdom. Over time, variants of Adulfo have appeared in different cultures, such as Adelaide in Italy, Adolfo in Spain, and Adolf in Germany. However, the original Latin form has remained relatively uncommon outside of Italy. Today, Adulfo is still used sparingly, largely confined to Italian-speaking regions where it retains its historic connotations of maturity and respect.
