Williss is a diminutive of the popular masculine name William. This title derives from Germanic Wilhelm, whose roots wil, “will, desire,” and helm, “helmet, protection” combine to create the meaning “resolute protector.” This name belongs to some of history’s most recognizable figures, including William the Conqueror and Shakespeare. This unique take on a classic may inspire baby to protect those around them, whether it be through the strength of their pen or sword.
