Resolute protector or famous desire
Wilmer is a Germanic name derived from the elements 'wil', meaning desire or will, and 'mari', meaning famous. It is also frequently associated as a variant of William, which combines 'wil' with 'helm' to mean resolute protector. Though it was popular in the early 20th century, it is now considered a rare vintage choice.
