Wilhemenia is a unique and captivating name of Latin origin, derived from the female name Wilhelmina. It combines the elements 'Wilhelm', meaning 'resolute protection' or 'will helmet', and '-menia', which means 'belonging to'. This name has a distinct and elegant sound, making it both intriguing and appealing. Wilhemenia was popularized in literature by the German writer Friedrich Schiller, who used it as the name of a character in his play "Wallenstein's Camp". While not widely used today, this name offers an uncommon and memorable choice for parents seeking a distinctive name for their child.
Wilhemenia was a popular name for newborns, particularly from the late 1940s to the mid-1950s, with peaks of 12 births in 1951 and 15 births in 1953. However, its popularity seems to have declined afterwards, with fewer than 10 births per year after 1956, and only one year (1966) with more than five births since then. Overall, there were a total of 264 babies named Wilhemenia over the course of these years.
