Well, "Wolf" means "wolf" and "Gang" can mean "walk" (noun) or "alleyway". It can also be used to describe the way someone walks. This last possibility is the most likely one. I think the name might well mean "(the one who) walks like a wolf". It could also mean "the wolf鈥檚 path", but this isn鈥檛 very likely.
Reply:I came across this meaning: the name "Wolfgang" described a warrior who dressed up as an animal, here: a wolve; also a warrior who "behaved" (maybe equally wild %26amp; aggressive during fights) like a wolve.
Reply:It could mean 'one who walks like a wolf', could possibly mean a loner. Translated into English as a name is difficult. Can't think of any name right now.
