Wilma
Wilma is a female given name. It is a short form of the German name Wilhelmina. The name means protector. Wilma is a moniker that has endured for centuries and boasts a fascinating past. Its roots can be traced back to the Germanic language and the name Wilhelm, which combines "will" or "desire" with "helmet" or "protection."[1] The male version of the name is Will, short for William. This is a unique name (not in the top 1000 newborn names in the US in 2021).[2]
