Wilburn

US Popularity Rank: 25297

Origin: Norse

Meaning: Willful; Bright; Spring; Stream; Well

It’s only natural to feel like baby is the light of your life. Why not honor their warm and infectious radiance with the Old German title Wilburn? Typically masculine, Wilburn means “willful” or “bright” and will most certainly remind baby of how bright they shine. Boasting historical roots, it is thought to come from the Old English and Old Norse brunnr, meaning “spring” or “stream,” and welle, meaning “well,” and was borne by those who lived near water.
