Rollo

Meaning of Rollo

Picture Rollo bursting onto the modern nursery scene like a Viking longship slicing through frothy waves—bold, spirited, and utterly unforgettable. Stemming from the Old Norse Hrólfr (and its Germanic cousin Rolf), which literally means “famous wolf,” Rollo carries a howl of ancestral adventure while hinting at a soft spot for mischief and wonder. He summons images of the original Rollo who carved out Normandy with equal parts grit and guile, yet he’s just as at home today darting across the playground, chariot (okay, tricycle) wheels spinning. Pronounced RAH-loh in English and ROHL-loo in Norwegian, this under-the-radar pick sits around the low 900s on U.S. charts—rare enough to feel special, familiar enough to wear easily. In one quick breath, Rollo feels like a slice of golden saga spliced with a wink: heritage plus heart, legend plus laughter.
