Rollo

Meaning: (Famous Wolf, Latinized form of Roul, the old French form of Rolf. Rollo (or Rolf) the Ganger was an exiled Viking who, in the 10th Century, became the first Duke of Normandy (c. 860-932). Variant of Roland used occasionally in continental Europe. It has been used as a given name in the English speaking world since the 19th Century.)

Origin: (Latin, English, German)

Pronunciation:  (RAHL-o, ROWLow)

Gender: Male

It’s the name of a character I read of in a book by Victoria Holt. I never understood the name it looks like the name of those Rolo caramel-chocolate candies. I saw this somewhere not long ago so I decided to add it to my blog. It does have strong meanings though.

  1. Rollo Beck is one of my absolute favourite boy names. I think it's so strong yet refined. Great choice.
