📖 À propos Ralph
Ralph est un ancien prénom germanique signifiant 'loup conseiller', dérivé du vieux haut-allemand rād (conseil) et wulf (loup). Introduit en Grande-Bretagne par les Normands en 1066, il a prospéré tout au long du Moyen Âge comme prénom de chevaliers et de nobles. En Australie, Ralph figurait encore dans le top 100 en 1953, vestige des traditions de prénoms anglo-germaniques du milieu du siècle. Bien qu'il ait disparu des palmarès modernes, Ralph reste un prénom distingué, porté par des figures iconiques de la littérature, de la mode et du cinéma.
