Rudolphus, derived from the German 'Hrodulf', is a historical male given name. Its roots can be traced back to two Old Germanic elements: 'hrod' meaning fame and 'wolf'. The name was popular among the Germanic tribes and later adopted by various European cultures. It's known for its strong, historic associations, particularly within medieval contexts.
The name Rudolphus saw a consistent number of births over the years 1927 to 1949, with five babies named Rudolphus born each year in 1927, 1937, 1948, and 1949. This resulted in a total of twenty children being given the name Rudolphus during this period.
