Welsh and English patronymic surname meaning 'son of William', where William derives from the Old High German 'Willahelm', composed of 'wil' (will, desire) and 'helm' (helmet, protection). The name was introduced to Britain by the Norman Conquest under William the Conqueror in 1066, rapidly becoming one of the most popular given names and thus spawning one of the most common surnames. It is particularly prevalent in Wales, where it ranks second only to Jones.
