Wallys is a gender-neutral name of English and French origin. A variation of the name Wallace, it derives from the Norman French word waleis, meaning “foreigner” and “from Wales.” Traditionally a last name, it was often used to describe individuals from Wales, Cornwall, and other places sharing borders with medieval England. The most well known bearer of this last name is perhaps William Wallace, made famous by Mel Gibson’s film Braveheart, who led the Scottish resistance against English rule in the late 13th century. Baby Wallys will be your courageous little warrior with a timeless name that has been proudly passed down for generations.
