Dolfo
Dolfo Origin and Meaning
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.
