Wolf

The name Wolf is of German origin and quite literally means 'wolf', which is the wild canine animal known for its howling and pack behavior. The wolf has long been a symbol of strength, loyalty, and freedom in various cultures and mythologies.

In many ancient Germanic and Norse traditions, the wolf was revered as a powerful and fierce creature, often associated with warriors and hunters. Some tribes even believed they were descended from wolves, which were seen as noble and brave animals.

In modern times, the name Wolf has gained popularity as a unique and nature-inspired name for boys. It is often chosen by parents who admire the wolf's wild and untamed spirit, or who want to bestow a name with a strong, masculine image.

While Wolf is primarily used as a boy's name, it is occasionally given to girls as well, particularly in certain cultures or regions where gender-neutral or nature-inspired names are more common.
