Meaning: Of Gwilym; Of William; Will, desire; Helmet; Protection

Wrap your bundle of joy up in protective love as you welcome them into your life. Gwillyn is a variation of Gwilym, the Welsh form of the masculine name William. Derived from the Old High German name Willehelm, this title comprises will, meaning "will” or “desire," and helm, meaning "helmet,” or “protection.” As baby Gwillyn grows up, they will chase after their dreams, knowing you will be there to support them. Whether in the form of helmets and knee pads or a hug, they can count on you to catch them when they fall.
