Willen

Refers to someone from near the spring and means “from the willow spring”

The name Willen is a variant of the English name William, which is of Old French origin. The name William itself is derived from the Germanic name Willahelm, composed of the elements “wil” meaning “will, desire” and “helm” meaning “helmet, protection.”

William has a long history and has been a popular name throughout many cultures and time periods. It was brought to England by the Normans after the Conquest of 1066, and quickly became a common name among the English nobility. The name has royal connections as well, being borne by many kings of England, including William the Conqueror.

Willen is a unique and modern twist on the classic name William, offering a fresh and distinctive option for parents seeking a familiar yet uncommon name for their child. It has a strong and traditional feel, while also standing out as an original choice.
