Wolfgang Kühnlenz
Wolfgang is a German name, German male given name traditionally popular in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The name is a combination of the Old High German words ''wikt:wolf#Old High German, wolf'', meaning "wolf", and ''wikt:gang#Old High German, 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 Reichenauer Verbrüderungsbuch in the 9th century. The earliest recorded famous bearer of the name was a tenth-century Wolfgang of Regensburg , Saint Wolfgang of Regensburg.

Grimm (''Deutsche Mythologie, Teutonic Mythology'' p. 1093) interpreted the name as that of a hero in front of whom wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
