Etymology of Ataulf/Athaulf - Wikipedia controversy

[Leonard Blunk]

So that's where the German name Adolph comes from! Thanks!

  The English wikipedia states:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ataulf

"Ataulf (sometimes Athavulf [1], Atawulf [2], or Athaulf—"father- 
wolf"[dubious – discuss]—Latinized as Ataulphus or Adolphus; in 
Spanish and Portuguese Ataúlfo) was king of the Visigoths from 410 to 
415 CE."

There is also a redirect from Athaulf to Ataulf. I was wondering if 
anyone on this list can address the dispute, and, more importantly, 
cite scholarly sources on it, on the wikipedia talk page.

Thanks.
