Facts About
Wilks
Wilks is a patronymic surname that has changed considerably from its original German form. Wilk is a pet form of the first name Wilkin which itself is a variant of the name William. William comes from the German first name ‘Wilhelm’ which was brought across to Britain by invading Normans. The German meaning of the name is said to be ‘Desired Protection’. The name would have made it name to Britain and changed in form, so the bearer of the name ‘Wilks’ who passed down the name to his kin would have been called Wilk, the suffixed ‘s’ being added to denote that the name is patronymic. |
