Hitlerike

Hitlerike (or Hitlerine ) was a female given name derived from the family name Adolf Hitler .

Before it could become popular after Hitler came to power, it was declared inadmissible by a circular issued by the Prussian Ministry of the Interior on July 3, 1933 as "undesirable to the Chancellor". First names already registered with reference to Hitler have been canceled.

In Austria , the registration of family names as first names was already forbidden in the summer of 1932 with reference to names such as Hitlerine and Hitler .
