Wills is an English patronymic surname from the first name Will, a diminutive of William. William comes from the Germanic roots wil, meaning will, and helm, for protection. It may also come from the West Saxon wiell/wiella, Old English well/wella, and Middle English will, which means stream or spring and would have been used to indicate someone living near one.
