Randolf Forename Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Now always RANDOLPH. (See also Ralf) Rand, ‘a northern prefix’ is ‘best referred to the Gothic rain, a house, and likewise a shield, from the protection both afford;’ the second element is (w)ulf ‘a wolf,’ which ‘was highly popular as a name-root,’ Yonge. Early forms are Randölfr, Radulf or Radulphus, and Ranulf; and the sense is ‘house-wolf’, presumably a fierce defender of home-comforts. The spelling Randolph results from the Latinized Radulphus and the surname-form, Randolph.
