Randolpus is Germanic, Latin in Origin.
Randolpus is a rare Latinized or scribal variant of Randolph, a name that descends from Old High German Randwulf (rand “shield-rim” + wulf “wolf”), conveying the evocative meaning “shield-wolf.” Brought to Britain by the Normans, the given name appears in medieval records as Randulf, Randolf, and Ranulf, with learned Latin spellings such as Randulfus and Randolphus; the simplified Randolpus likely reflects phonetic spelling or omission of the ph cluster in clerical Latin.
Usage centers on the Middle Ages in England and Scotland, later surviving as both forename and surname. Today Randolpus itself is exceedingly uncommon and chiefly of antiquarian interest, while standard forms remain familiar. Related variants include Randolph, Randolf, Randulf, Ranulf, Ranulph, Randal, Randall, Randle, and the diminutive Randy; Latinized forms include Randulfus and Randolphus, and a feminine Randolpha occasionally occurs in modern coinages.
Randolpus is absent from every birth registry and name dataset we follow. That's typically a sign of a rare name, a regional or traditional one, or a modern coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
