Etymology

From *arnuz + *wulfaz, with the first constituent appearing in its compositional stem *arnu-. Compare Old English Earnwulf, Earnulf, Old High German Arnulf, Arnolf, and Old Norse Arnulfr, Ǫrnulfr; the continental name is attested from at least the fifth century. The formation is a regular Germanic dithematic personal name combining two animal-name elements (Bosworth & Toller 2014: s.v. Earnulf; Förstemann 1900: 141).
