Rudolphus

US Popularity Rank: 6400

Origin: German

Meaning: Fame and glory for the wolf

Just like Rudolph leads the way on Santa Claus's sleigh, Rudolphus will shoot for the stars of their bright future. This masculine name is the Latin variant of Rudolph, which evolved from the Germanic Hrodulf, a combination of Hruod, meaning "fame," and olf, meaning "wolf." This gives Rudolphus the meaning of "fame and glory for the wolf," making it perfect to introduce your little cub to the pack.
