Meaning: Spirited play; Heart in the fame; Resolute protector

Uileac is a unique name for boys. While its origins are yet to be determined, it’s most probably derived from the Old Norse Hugleikr meaning “spirited play” or “heart in the game.” The moniker may even be the Irish form of the English William, taking on the meaning “resolute protector” for itself. Either way, if you’d like your little one to play their hearts out and practice fairness on and off the field, Uileac will do the trick.
