History & Origin

Willoh is a modern respelling of Willow, from Old English welig, the graceful tree that leans over streams. Willow rose fast as a nature name in recent decades, and respellings like this one follow the fashion for reworked endings. Same tree, new spelling (said 'WIL-oh').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S., far behind the standard Willow. Rare, nature-rooted, and softly modern.

Did you know? Willows bend without breaking — which is why the tree has stood for resilience in poetry for centuries. Willoh is simply Willow in a newer coat (said 'WIL-oh').
