“Allusion to the wolf in these naming traditions was to connote those traits of the wolf that these ancient cultures (like virtually all others) attributed to the wolf—ferocity, cunning, strength, and familial loyalty. Given the widespread use of “wolf” in Old Norse and Old English naming traditions, it is entirely plausible that in intermingled/intermarried areas of Slavic and Dane or Saxon tribes, the Slavic version of these names would have also been on occasion utilized by the Germano-Norse.”
