From the Germanic elements 'wolf' ('wolf') and 'hraban/hram' ('raven'), two animals important in Germanic mythology. Borne by the medieval poet Wolfram von Eschenbach.
The early Frankish form (Chlodovech) of the name that became Louis, from 'hlod' (fame) and 'wig' (war, battle). Borne by Clovis I, first king of the Franks.
Wolfram and Clovis are given to a similar number of US babies today.
