Adler

Adler is a surname of German origin meaning eagle, and has a frequency in the United Kingdom of less than 0.004%, and of 0.008% in the United States. In Christian iconography, the eagle is the symbol of John the Evangelist, and as such a stylized eagle was commonly used as a house sign/totem in German speaking areas. From the tenement the term easily moved to its inhabitants, particularly to those having only one name. This phenomenon can be easily seen in German and Austrian censuses from the 16th and 17th centuries. The term might have been assigned also as a name descriptive of character or outward characteristics.

Die Adler (the eagles) also is a nickname for the Germany national football team.

Adler (comics)

Adler is a Belgian comic series written and drawn by the Belgian author René Sterne (1952–2006) and colored by his wife Chantal De Spiegeleer.

The comic was initially serialized in Tintin magazine beginning in 1985 and was published as ten albums by Le Lombard from 1987 to 2003. It was reissued in 2008 in two omnibus volumes collecting five albums each.

Executed in classic ligne claire, the series's drawings are characterized by a stylized but realistic portrayal of the background and a highly stylized, nearly caricatural character design. Adler is named after the protagonist, Adler von Berg, a German pilot who deserts the Luftwaffe in 1942 and founds an airfreight company in Delhi with his Irish girlfriend Helen. The albums recount, with a humorous tone, their action-laden adventures in exotic locations such as India, Latin America, the Caribbean or a Soviet gulag.
