A very popular male first name William is pronounced WIL-yum. It is of Old German origin, and its meaning is "determined protector." For a long time after the Norman conquest in AD 1066, three out of four English boys were given some form of the conqueror's name, William.
William has remained a royal name in the UK for nearly one thousand years. The firstborn son of the current Prince of Wales is named William.
Some of the famous personalities with the name include - Playwright William Shakespeare; actors William Hurt, Billy Crudup, Bill Pullman; film director Wim Wenders; poet William Blake; author William Faulkner; US Presidents William H. Harrison, William H. Taft, William McKinley; Bill Clinton.
Some of the variant forms are: Bill, Bille, Billie, Billy, Vilhelm, Villem, Wilek, Wiley, Wilhelm, Wilhelmus, Wilkes, Wilkie, Wilkinson, Will, Willem…and many more.

On May 12/09 we named our third child this great name. As with our other children (Thomas and Ella) we have already shortened it to Will. It wasn't my first choice of names but how can you not like a William! He will likely be very tall and strong and maybe my 'protector' in the future!
