- Wiley
Origin:
Scottish diminutive of William, German, EnglishMeaning:
"resolute protection; from Wylye"Description:
Wiley is a perfectly appropriate way to spell the Scottish name also known as Wylie. Given all the babies named William and Liam today, Wiley or Wylie can be a wonderful variation that's more distinctive but still honors Grandpa Bill. Wiley might also be considered an Attitude Name, given that its other meaning lends it a lot of sass.
