It is an interesting fact to find what a person's name means. However, we should also understand that names hold no definition over what kind of person the owner of the name is or shall become. That is to say, names do not define who we are, but rather our actions. Our names were given to us from before anyone could know what personality traits we would exhibit, before we decided our beliefs, before our capability to express ourselves using words. Names weren’t selected based on the person we were or are going to turn out to be, and they therefore cannot define us as people. Tying into that is the phrase “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet”. It suggests that a rose, no matter what one calls it, is still fundamentally a rose. It would smell the same, even if someone calls it, may be like, a daffodil. Changing the name wouldn’t make the physical plant change, and it would remain a rose. It is the same way with people. Changing someone’s name doesn’t change who the person is, and it simply makes them known as something else. However, they’re still the same person. Let’s say your parents named you Steve. You are able to go back in time and change what they name you. Now, they’ve named you Norm. You would still grow up, in both timelines, to be the same person, just by a different name.

The name William is one of the most popular boys names of all time and is of Germanic origin. The name was first introduced to England by William the Conqueror. It is a compound of two words, "wil" meaning "will or desire" and "helm" meaning "helmet, protection".
