Willhelm

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: German

Meaning: Resolute protection; Helmet protection

A variant of Wilhelm, Willhelm is also masculine and Germanic, with links to the Dutch name Wilhelmus. It comes from the composite parts wil, meaning "will," and helm, meaning "helmet" and "protector." These terms give your new best friend's appellation the double meaning of "resolute protector" and "helmet protection." Unless baby Willhelm goes down the route of becoming a head gear salesperson, your little one can revel in their position as a guardian of their loved ones. Putting the Will in willing, baby's indefatigable spirit will guide them and keep them safe on their journey through life.
