[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Name translations

http://www.behindthename.com/nm/y.php. This site suggests Bulgarian for
YAKOV as well for this spelling.

Dan,
  As others explained, Yakovleva (feminine version of Yakovlev) is almost
certainly Russian-derived. This name is very common in Russia. One of my
Russian friends is a Yakovlev and one of the Russian war plane makers was
also the Yakovlev. Without knowing more about your family, I would venture
to guess your ancestry down this line would likely include true Russian
genealogy.
   
  The German spelling of her given name would have been Emilie (pronounced
the same as you would say Emilia).

  My grandmothers name on a Russian document is given as Emilia Yakovleva
Mayert. Can anyone tell me the German or English version of Yakovleva?.
And is Adolph the Russianized version of Adolf, or are they fully
interchangeable?
Thanks
Dan Buss
