Does anybody know more about this name? Several less trustworthy sites suggest the meaning: desiring protector, consecrated to God.
Can someone confirm this meaning?
up! anyone?
[name]One[/name] website confirmed what you posted about what is means. However, on the more trustworthy name meaning sites I was unable to find the meaning of that name. Was there any information about what the origin of the name was? That could be useful in confirming the meaning of the name.
No i did not find any information about the origin. It seems to be a name primarily born by spanish/latin people. Also written as Widalys.
The “consecrated to God” meaning and the [name]Lys[/name]/[name]Liz[/name] part makes me think it’s a smush with [name]Elizabeth[/name]. Some places have [name]William[/name] listed as meaning something like “desiring protection”, so maybe it was created with elements of [name]Elizabeth[/name] and elements of a form of [name]William[/name] like [name]Wilhelmina[/name] or maybe [name]Wilda[/name]?
Nono, you could be on the right track: the website that gave me the meaning is the kind that has a lot of these „smushes” on it. mmm… interesting!
