Cenwulf

Appearing in a variety of different forms throughout history, including Cenulf, Coenwulf, Kenwulf, Cynulf, and Kennwulph to name a few, this ancient name has a rugged, adventurous feel that may appeal to those looking to name characters in fantasy novels. Borne by a 9th-century king of Mercia, it is ultimately derived from the Old English cene meaning "brave" and wulf, as in the animal.

While traditionally it would have been said KUUN-woolf (UU a bit like the sound in blur), the SEHN-woolf pronunciation has occasionally been used too.

Pronounced KUUN-woolf.
