UFN : Adolphus Jones

As our unusual first names continues, the name Adolphus is unique.  Only one reference to this name appears researched by Caroline Cunningham.  The Rockingham County, NC, Marriages gives Adolphus D. Jones and Caroline L. Reamey being married on the 18th of February 1843.  This name sounds Greek, but does not appear in the English dictionary.  Anyone know the origin of this unusual name?

From Cunningham's works, Vol.II, p. 2
