A feminine given name of Germanic origin, also famously associated with the character Wilma Flintstone from the animated television series.
From Germanic 'wil' meaning desire or will, combined with 'helm' meaning helmet or protection. The name suggests someone who is a 'resolute protector' and gained widespread recognition through the 1960s cartoon character.
The Flintstones' Wilma represents a fascinating cultural artifact - a 'modern' Stone Age woman who embodied 1960s ideals of femininity while supposedly living in prehistoric times. The name's meaning of 'resolute protector' perfectly fits her role as the sensible counterpoint to Fred's schemes.
