History & Origin

Willamina is a variant of Wilhelmina — the feminine of Wilhelm/William, Germanic wil, 'will, desire', plus helm, 'helmet, protection'. Dutch queens made it regal; the -amina spelling (and the Oregon town) make it gentler American.

It registers thinly in records. Rare, will-and-helmet at the root, and grand-vintage.

Did you know? Queen Wilhelmina steered the Netherlands through two world wars from a name meaning 'will-helmet' — Willamina is its softened American spelling (and an Oregon town).
