Williams Genealogy & History

Williams is a Welsh name that means "son of William" and is the third most common surname in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Though Williams genealogy often traces back to Wales, there are a number of alternate names with the same meaning, including Williamson, Wilcox, and McWilliams, and Williams family history also often includes England, Germany, or Scotland. The modern French version of the name is Guillaume, though William is an Old French form derived from the Germanic elements wil, meaning "will" or "desire" and helm, meaning "protection" or "shield." As a given name, this meant that the name William had a meaning such as "protector" or "strong-willed."
