Name of the Day: Wolfgang

January 27

Wolfgang:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was born on January 27, 1756 in Austria.

Mozart is widely regarded as among the greatest composers in the history of Western music, having created over 800 works in his short, 35-year life.

Wolfgang is a German name meaning “traveling wolf” and was the name of Mozart’s maternal grandfather.

Wolf, along with other badass animal names like Bear and Fox, is slowly and steadily making its way into the baby name pool — especially as an edgy and unexpected middle name.

Wolfgang elevates this cool nature name to feel substantial and rooted in history. Nickname Wolfie domesticates the name for everyday wear.

Amadeus is another badass boy’s name — a lyrical Latin name meaning “lover of God.”
