Raulus is Estonian, Germanic in Origin.
Raulus is a rare Latinized form of Raoul/Raúl, ultimately from the Germanic compound Radulf/Ráðúlfr: ráð “counsel” + úlfr/wulf “wolf,” yielding the meaning “counseling (wise) wolf.” The -us ending reflects medieval clerical Latin; while Radulfus is the most common record form, some charters and baptismal entries occasionally show the streamlined Raulus or Raoulus.
Variants and cognates include Raoul (French), Raúl (Spanish), Raul (Portuguese/Italian), Ralph (English), Ralf (German/Scandinavian), and Finnish Rauli; Spanish diminutives like Rulo also appear. The name spread with the Normans in the 11th century and maintained steady medieval usage among nobles and clergy. In modern times it thrives as Raúl/Raul in Iberia and Latin America and as Raoul in francophone regions, whereas Raulus survives mainly in Latin documents, genealogical indexes, and scholarly reconstructions rather than as a contemporary civil given name.
