Wilmoth is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of English origin. It is derived from the Old English words "wil" meaning will or desire, and "mōþ" which signifies mouth or speech. Thus, Wilmoth can be interpreted as 'desirous of speech' or 'having a powerful voice'. The name has been sparsely used throughout history, contributing to its uniqueness today. It has not gained widespread popularity, making it an intriguing choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
