Yeah, I have seen various spellings; Wolfonbury, Wolstanbury, Wolfonbury.
Nineteenth Century Antiquarian William Hamper speculated that 'the present name (Wolftanbury) is evidently derived from some Saxon Chieftain named Wolftan.'
He might have been making that up, though. You know what those 19th Century antiquarians were like!
