Look into the meaning behind the name Wolf Webster

Ever since Kylie Jenner announced her second pregnancy, fans have been speculating the possible name of her child. Although many guessed the makeup mogul welcomed a baby boy even before the official announcement of his birth, the moniker ‘Wolf Webster’ left most fans surprised.

A viral theory from TikTok user @lifeofroryofficial speculated that Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner would name their son “Valentine,” based on his birth month and the time of his arrival before Valentine’s week.

Other people speculated that the child would be named “Angel” as his birth date coincides with the angel number 2-2-22. However, Jenner and Scott decided to choose a unique name for their son, similar to their daughter Stormi.

According to NameBerry, the name wolf originates from a German name meaning “traveling wolf.” The site mentioned that it is a commonly used name in the country (pronounced Vulf in German) and in Jewish families. The name is sometimes used as a short form of “Wolfgang.”

Wolf is currently ranked 1,318 on Babycentre’s boy name list. The site noted that it recently increased in popularity and has been popularly used as a middle name in Hollywood.

The Daily Mail also pointed out that some famous people with the name include CNN journalist Wolf Blitzer, British James Bond screenwriter Wolf Mankowitz, and painter Wolf Kahn.

More recently, Maximillion Cooper and Eve welcomed their son and named him Wilde Wolf Fife Alexander Somers Cooper. In 2017, Zooey Deschanel and Jacob Pechenik named their son Charlie Wolf.

Lauren Conrad and her husband William Tell also used the same name for their second son in October 2019. Bachelor in Paradise couple Carly Waddell and Evan Bass named their son Charlie Wolf that same year.
