RANDWULF. Old
German name meaning "shield wolf." Equivalent of Old Norse
Röndolfr (q.v.).
... As far back as 940 in
England we find the name of Randolph under the Anglo-Saxon forms of Randulf,
Randolf and Ranulf.
The name became very popular with the Normans, and Fitz Randolfs were
numerous. It is believed to have originated in Germany, under the
form of Randwulf, meaning "the boss of a shield," from
which it can readily be inferred that the first Randolphs were fighting
men and ready to take a front place in the ranks... (Men of Mark in
Maryland, Johnson's Makers of America Series, v.2, 1910)
