MEANING & HISTORY
What does Arnolfo mean?
Arnolfo is the Italian form of Arnulf. Its name family joins the Germanic eagle and wolf elements, and the Italian ending accounts for the difference in spelling.
It should not be confused with Arnaldo, whose corresponding Germanic second element concerns power instead of a wolf. These close-looking names therefore have different documented constructions.
