Willmina

Willmina is a feminine variant of Wilhelm, which originated from the Germanic elements 'wil' meaning 'will, desire' and 'helm' meaning 'helmet, protection.' As a feminine form of William or Wilma, Willmina carries connotations of strength and determination. Though less common than Wilhelmina, which follows similar etymology, Willmina offers a distinctive spelling variation. The name has remained relatively uncommon throughout history, giving it a unique charm. In English-speaking countries, Willmina occasionally appears but hasn't reached widespread popularity, making it an uncommon choice for parents seeking a traditional yet distinctive name with strong Germanic roots.

Pronounced wil-MEE-nuh.
