Guillaume est la forme française de Wilhelm, issu du vieux haut-allemand Willahelm ("volonté" + "casque" = protecteur résolu). Popularisé par la noblesse normande — notamment Guillaume le Conquérant — le prénom a dominé les prénoms français dans les années 1980, atteignant la 3e place en 1986. Il incarne aujourd'hui l'élégance gauloise et la grandeur médiévale.
