Fulco is Germanic in Origin.
Fulco is a medieval given name from the West Germanic root folk-/fulk- “people, host,” recorded in Latin as Fulco. The sense evokes one belonging to the people or leading a retinue, akin to Old High German folk and English folk. Not to be confused with Falco (“falcon”), it shares its base with names like Folke and Foulques.
The name travelled through Frankish and Norman channels into Romance and English lands. In France it appears as Foulque/Foulques; the Counts of Anjou included several bearers, culminating in Fulk V, King of Jerusalem. Norman England used Fulk/Fulke and the surname Foulk(s). Italy preserved both Folco and Fulco; the latter survives as a rare aristocratic given name and more common surname (e.g., Fulco di Verdura). Variants and cognates include Fulk, Fulke, Fouke, Foulque/Foulques, Folco, Folke. Usage today is uncommon but valued for its medieval, chivalric aura and solid meaning.
