Arnulfo

Arnulfo is a masculine name with Germanic roots, derived from the elements 'arn' meaning eagle and 'wulf' meaning wolf. It was borne by several medieval saints and nobles, including Saint Arnulf of Metz, a 7th-century bishop. The name traveled to Spain and Latin America where it gained more widespread usage and remains particularly popular in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries. Arnulfo combines powerful natural symbols—the eagle's vision and the wolf's strength—creating a name that conveys courage and nobility. While never extremely common in the United States, it has maintained a steady presence in Hispanic-American communities, appreciated for its distinctive sound and strong heritage.

Pronounced ar-NUL-fo.
