Raoul

Raoul is a masculine name and the French form of Ralph and Radulf. All three of these titles stem from Ráðúlfr, an Old Norse moniker with close connections to a certain legendary animal. Deriving from the elements ráð, meaning "counsel," and ulfr, meaning "wolf," Ráðúlfr shares the meaning of "wolf counsel" with Raoul. Found in forest and grassland habitats throughout the Northern Hemisphere, wolves are the largest members of the dog family. They live and hunt in packs, a behavioral instinct that facilitates the defense of territories and community cooperation. Wolves are also the protagonists of countless myths and legends, most recognizably, the tale of the werewolf, a human who can transform into a wolf-like animal. Just as real-life wolves rely on their pack for protection and food, your Raoul's family and friends will be their biggest supporters.
