The name William has a curious
history. 1t was not at first given to
children, and even a man had to earn
it. When the ancient Germans fought
with the Romans, the Germans had
only light weapons. The Romans were
well-armed, protected by armor, too,
and some of them wore a gilded hamlet
to shield the head. Whenever a Ger
man succeeded in killing a well-armed
Roman who wore one Of these gilded
hemlets the hemlet was put upon his
head, and he was ever afterward known
as Geldhelm, or as we would say Golden
Helmet. With the French this was
called Guilheaume, shortened to Gull
lame; and with Latin speaking nations
Gulielmus Finally the French Guilla-
me became Wullame; the German Gil
helm, and the English William.
