Meaning & History

Derived from Old English wulf "wolf", with the second element possibly being hād "nature, character" (from haiduz) or heaþu "war, battle" (from haþuz). This was the name of a legendary 7th-century Christian martyr, supposedly executed alongside his brother Ruffinus by their father.
