Aþawulfs
A modern reconstruction of a Gothic name read as "noble wolf", built from elements matching Old High German adal, "noble", and wulfs, "wolf".
Meaning and origin
Aþawulfs is not an attested Gothic spelling but a scholar's guess at how the historical king known in Latin sources as Athaulf, Ataulf or Athaulphus might have written his own name.
