Submitted Name Revision History

Austrian and Bavarian German diminutive of given names that contain the Germanic element wolf meaning "wolf", such as Wolfgang. It is typically only used informally, meaning: it is hardly ever (if at all) used as an official name on birth certificates.

A notable bearer of this name is the famous Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), who was called Wolferl by his family as a child.
