The first name is derived from the Scottish surname, which was originally a nickname given by Normans to minority Celtic people, such as Welshmen living around the border of England and Wales known as the Welsh Marches. The given name was first bestowed in Scotland, in honor of the Scottish patriot Sir William Wallace (1272/1276-1305) of Braveheart fame, who was executed by the English for his leading role in the wars of independence for his country.
