Willis is an English and Scottish surname. The Willes family of Warwickshire, originally of Newbold Comyn and Fenny Compton, has used the spellings "Willis," "Willys," and "Wyllys" and appears in documents dating back to 1330. The name may originate from a place name such as Wilton or Wiltshire, or it could be a diminutive form of William. Last names that are forms of John usually take on -s at the end to distinguish them from other people with the same first name - but this is not always the case. For example, Joseph is only one version of Jacob and therefore might be confused with other Jews named Joe or Josef. This is why it's important to know how to write your last name! There are many different ways to say the same thing with words. For example, one way to address several thousand people at once is called a crowd. You can also address just one person by using their first name and then their last name, like I have done here. There are two main ways to say "Mr." and "Mrs." in French: le monsieur and la madame. In general, the masculine form is used for people who are not relatives while the feminine form is used for relatives and friends.
