DS1 has to write about the origins of names for his homework (he's in Y2),what his name means and why it was chosen?
He's got a fairly ordinary name (William) but have looked at about 10 different websites and they are all giving different meanings so wondered if any of you knew a definitive answer that I'd be able to interpret for a 6 year old. It's a German name from what I understand meaning protector but some sites are saying it means "Will Helmut" which is confusing the issue somewhat! They've got to discuss it in great detail in school and there is another William in his class and have got an awful feeling they're going to go in with different ideas which is going to be a little confusing!
