Origin: German
Meaning: Determined protector
Billa is a variant of the girl’s name Willa, which itself derives from the Germanic name Wilhelm, translating to William in English. Wilhelm combines the words will (desire, will) with helm (helmet, protection) to mean “determined protector.” William is often shortened to Bill or Billy, while Billie is a feminine version made famous by singer Billie Holiday. More recently, Billie Eilish has brought the name back into the public eye. Willa is also a fashionable name, chosen by Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner for their daughter in 2020. Billa offers the perfect blend of these two stylish names, and is a rarer alternative to both. A great choice if you want something a little different for baby!
