Dolfo

Dolfo is a masculine name of Italian origin, functioning primarily as a diminutive form of Adolfo or Rodolfo. The name Adolfo derives from the Germanic name Adolf, meaning 'noble wolf,' while Rodolfo means 'famous wolf.' Dolfo carries these wolf-related connotations in a shortened, more approachable form. Most common in Italian-speaking regions, the name has never achieved widespread popularity in English-speaking countries. It has a strong, distinctive sound with its combination of the soft 'D' and ending 'o' that is characteristic of Italian male names. Dolfo projects an image of quiet strength and European sophistication.

Pronounced DOHL-fo.
