German Male Dog Names: Rudolph

This week’s German Male Dog Name Is:

Rudolph

Because it’s Christmas this week and the name Rudolph is heard quite often in connection with the reindeer, I thought it would be fun to point out that the name Rudolph is German in origin and he was a famous wolf!

It originated from the German “Hrodwulf,” which was a combination of “hrod” meaning “fame” and “wulf” meaning “wolf.”

The name belonged to King Rudolf Duke of Burgundy (923-936), King Rudolf I (1273-1291) and King Rudolf II (1576-1612) of the Holy Roman Empire and King Rudolf II of Hungary (1572-1608).

This week, the name Rudolph is for a 3 year old male Doberman Pinscher.

Rudolph’s nickname is: Dolphberman and if that doesn’t make him unique enough, he is also an albino which really makes his red nose stand out!

He loves to run and is very intellectual as he loves to chew on the book Chicken Soup For The Dog Lovers Soul!
