What is the spiritual meaning of Adolf?

Adolf is a bit of a strange name. This is because of the relationship with the wars. Adolf is a historical name that reminds us of the duality and complexity. Adolf Hitler was the ruler of Germany as I am sure you already know. Yes, Adolf carries the scars of past wars and promises peace. Hitler has never really gone away in fact as of 2014 the name Hitler still appears throughout the world and is recorded 111 times in Brazil which is interesting. 

The surname Hitler is not only associated with Adolf Hitler - despite his fame. Actually it is a variation of "Hiedler," someone living by a deep subterranean stream known as "Hido." The surname was frequently interchanged - in the family - as "Butler" or "Hitler" before Adolf was born. Adolf Hitler's father Alois Schickl Gruber changed his surname because of doubts about if he was Adolf’s father (which he was not). In 1877. Adolf Hitler had no children of his own, and the surname depended upon his siblings. His father Alois married three times, and only the second and third resulted in children. I know I am going on about Hitler in this spiritual meaning but he was such a large figure that the name is kind of tarnished with what happened.
