Rolf

Rolf is a boy name with Old German roots.

Pronunciation: German /ˈʁɔlf/; English /ˈɹoʊlf/.

This name comes from the Old German name Hrolf (or its Old Norse cognate Hrólfr ), a contracted form of Hrodulf (see Rudolf ). The Normans introduced this name to England but it soon became rare. In the modern era it has occasionally been used in the English-speaking world as a German import.
