Meaning: Noble wolf

Aethelwulf means “noble wolf” and is a boy’s name of English origin. It’s a variation of the name Ethelwulf. Aethelwulf was also the name of the historical figure King Aethelwulf of Wessex, who was a 9th-century ruler in England. This name has a lovely medieval edge that sets it apart and makes it just howl with cuteness. Aethelwulf makes a wildly adorable choice if you see your little one being as cute as a tiny wolf pup.
