Wolf Origin and Meaning
The name Wolf is a girl's name meaning "traveling Wolf".
Notable Wolfs like Blitzer, Mankowitz, and Kahn give this name a masculine bent, but nature names are inherently unisex, so we see no reason why Wolf can't be used on a baby girl.
Historically Wolf has been more common among German (where it's pronounced Vulf) and Jewish families, occasionally as a nickname for Wolfgang.
The nickname Wolfie softens and feminizes Wolf, while Wolfe turns it into a surname.
