Adalwolfa is in Origin.

Adalwolfa is the learned feminine form of an Old High German compound: adal (“noble, of noble lineage”) + wolf (“wolf”). As a semantic pair it denotes a “noble she-wolf” or “noble wolf.” The same elements underlie the masculine Adalwolf, later Latinized as Adolphus and modernized in German as Adolf; cognates appear across Germanic, including Old English Aethelwulf (“noble wolf”). The feminine -a ending reflects medieval and neo-Latin naming habits.

While compounds with Adal- and -wolf were popular among early medieval elites, explicit feminine formations like Adalwolfa are rare in records and today function mainly as revived, heritage-style choices. Documented or plausible variants include Adalwulfa, Adelwolfa, Adolfa, and Adolfina/Adolphine; related diminutives include Ada, Adel, and Della. Usage of the masculine line declined sharply in the 20th century, but the feminine Adalwolfa remains an uncommon, evocative alternative.
