The name Wilmadeene is a girl's name of English origin meaning "resolute protection of the meadow; resolute protector of the church official".

A retro-sounding compound name with an earthy feel, Wilmadeene appears in the 1973 young adult novel, Deenie by Judy Blume. In the novel, the character explains how her mother was inspired to name her Wilmadeene by the movie, 60s movie, Splendor in the Grass which features a character called Wilma Dean "Deanie", played by Natalie Wood.
 
A blend of Wilma, a feminine form of William, and Dean, a name that can mean either "valley" or "church official", Wilmadeene could make a rare twist on Willa, Willow, Nadine, Maddie, and Winnie.
