Rauls is in Origin.
Rauls is a Latvian masculine given name, a localized form of Raul/Raúl ultimately descending from the Old High German Radulf (from Proto-Germanic raþ “counsel, advice” + wulf “wolf”). As in many Latvian male names, the final -s marks the nominative, while the core meaning remains “wolf of counsel” or “wise wolf,” suggesting strategic insight joined with strength.
Across Europe the name appears as French Raoul, Spanish Raúl, Italian and Portuguese Raul, with cognates Ralph (English) and Ralf (German/Scandinavian); Finnish also has Rauli. Medieval French bearers and later Iberian usage kept the name current, and its modern revival spread in the 19th–20th centuries. In Latvia, Rauls aligns with international taste while fitting local morphology, and coexists with the related Latvian Ralfs (from Ralph). The overall sense evokes prudent leadership and protective courage.
Rauls is a genuine rarity. In all, it appears just 13 times, across 5 countries.
