Meaning: Son of Rolfe; Counsel; Wolf

For a truly timeless name that has passed through many European hands, consider the boy's name, Rawlins. With roots in French, British, and German heritage, it is derived from the French diminutive of Raul, meaning "son of Rolfe." As a sweet legacy to family kinship, Rawlins has a surprising second meaning of "counsel" and "wolf," coming from the ancient Germanic Radwulf. Rawlins, as we know it today, found its way to England through the Norman conquest of 1066, adding to the longstanding testament of this historical moniker.
