Meaning & History

Derived from the Old High German elements asc meaning "ash tree; spear" and wolf meaning "wolf", or possibly a variant form of the Old English name Æscwulf; the first element was altered due to the influence of Old High German ansi meaning "god, deity". A known bearer was the 11th-century Norman baron Ansculf de Picquigny, who followed William the Conqueror to England.
