From the Old Norman French Willaume, which is derived from the Old High German Willehelm, a compound name composed from the elements willeo (will, determination) and helm (protection, helmet): hence, "resolute protector." William is the most popular name introduced to England by the Normans. It was borne by William the Conqueror (1027?—87), who invaded England and defeated Harald at the Battle of Hastings, and by three other kings of England. Presently, the name is borne by Prince William (b. 1982), the eldest son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana |
