Wolfgang Kalauch
Wolfgang is a German male given name traditionally popular in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The name is a combination of the Old High German words ''wolf'', meaning "wolf", and ''gang'', meaning "path", "journey", "travel". Besides the regular "wolf", the first element also occurs in Old High German as the combining form "-olf". The earliest reference of the name being used was in the 8th century. The name was also attested as "Vulfgang" in the in the 9th century. The earliest recorded famous bearer of the name was a tenth-century Saint Wolfgang of Regensburg.

A Latin gloss by Arnold of St Emmeram interprets the name as ''Lupambulus''.E. Förstemann, ''Altdeutsches Namenb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
