This name is widespread throughout northern, central, and eastern Europe, as well as in Britain and German-speaking countries.German : habitational name for someone living at a house distinguished by the sign of a wolf, Middle High German wolf.Jewish (Ashkenazic) : from the Yiddish male personal name Volf meaning ‘wolf’, which is associated with the Hebrew personal name Binyamin (see Benjamin).
