Wallis Origin and Meaning

The name Wallis is a girl's name meaning "a Welshman, Celt".

Famously borne by the woman (born Bessie) for whom an English king sacrificed his throne, Wallis has the force of a masculine name, but the unisex charm of surnames like Ellis and Hollis.

Anthony Edwards revived it for his daughter, and we're hearing some buzz about it on Nameberry.
