William
resolute protector, strong will
William combines Germanic elements usually rendered as "will" and "helmet" or "protection," giving a compound meaning close to "resolute protector." Centuries of royal and everyday use have kept the name tied to steadfastness -- less about aggression than about holding a position firmly. It reads as dependable rather than domineering, someone who stays when others might not.
