Rolf
Famous wolf meaning
Rolf is a German given name of ancient Germanic origin, related to Rudolf and meaning "famous wolf." It remains common in German-speaking countries and Scandinavia, and appears occasionally in English-speaking contexts.
The name gained unfortunate notoriety through Rolf Harris, a British-Australian entertainer whose 2014 conviction for sexual assault led to "rolf" becoming British slang for a disgraced celebrity or, as a verb, to be exposed for past misconduct.
