About Rule
Rule, derived from the Proto-Germanic name "Rēdawulfaz" (Old High German "Radolf / Radulf," Old English "Rǣdwulf"), carries a profound meaning of "help, advice, counsel, a decision" (from "rēdaz") and "wolf" (from "-wulfaz").
This name shares a connection to the Germanic name (Hroðulf / Hruodolf), though not originating from the same root. Its history can be traced back to Duke Radulf of Thuringia, who reigned from 632 or 633 until his death after 642.
