Ulfric

Ulfric is a masculine given name of Norse origin. It is typically analyzed as a compound of elements meaning "wolf" (Old Norse ulfr) and "ruler" (ríkr). The name appears in medieval Norse onomastics and persists in modern Scandinavian usage in altered forms such as Ulfrík or Ulfrik, though it remains relatively uncommon.

In popular culture, Ulfric Stormcloak is a fictional character in the video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. He is a Nord leader who leads the Stormcloaks in the civil war against the Imperial Legion. The character has become one of the recognizable names associated with the term Ulfric in gaming communities.

Other uses: the given name Ulfric may appear in fantasy literature and role-playing games as an evocative Nordic-themed name for male characters.
