English and Scottish patronymic surname meaning 'son of Will', a short form of William — from Old High German 'Willahelm' (will + helmet, protection). The name is particularly concentrated in northern England and Scotland, reflecting the influence of the Norse and Scots naming traditions in those regions. Its distribution makes it the most common surname in north-east England.
