Archiveswhat is name?
The name Boliwyf is in the book eaters of the dead and the movie 13th warrior. Anyone know what it means? It sounds like bull-vye when you say it and I'd like to know where it comes from or what it means. thanks.

BEOWULF m Anglo-Saxon Mythology
Possibly means "bee wolf" (in effect equal to "bear") from Old English beo "bee" and wulf "wolf". This is the name of the main character in the anonymous 8th-century epic poem 'Beowulf'. The poem tells how Beowulf slays the monster Grendel and its mother, but goes on to tell how he is killed in his old age fighting a dragon.
