What is the meaning of the name Rudolfas ?

Rudolfas is in Origin.

Rudolfas is the Lithuanian form of the old Germanic name Rudolf/Rudolph, built from the elements hrod “fame, renown” and wulf “wolf,” yielding the meaning “famous wolf.” The form entered Lithuanian naming through historical contact with German- and Polish-speaking communities in the Baltic region, and it aligns with Lithuanian masculine morphology via the -as ending. Though never among the most common Lithuanian names, it has steady, recognizable usage.

Across Europe the name has deep medieval roots, borne by nobles and clerics and later by notable royals - most famously Rudolf I of the Habsburgs and Austria’s Crown Prince Rudolf. International variants include Rudolf (German, Czech, Polish, Scandinavian), Rudolph (English), Rodolfo (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), and the Latvian Rūdolfs; Latinized historical forms appear as Rodulfus or Rudolphus. Common diminutives are Rudi and Rudy. The meaning and wolf imagery give Rudolfas a strong, time-tested character with pan-European resonance.
