Wilhelm

Wilhelm is a name that takes its roots from its German origins. It is traditionally given as a name from parents to their sons. The name Wilhelm denotes a very masculine sense of strength, as the meaning of Wilhelm is 'someone who is there to protect' or 'someone who acts as an armour'. Historically, it was given as a name in the Roman period to those who were born into military families. The name has come to be associated with royalty, such as through the last German emperor Wilhelm, who was also the King of Prussia. The Dutch national anthem also uses this name due to its prestigious associations with royalty and is titled 'Wilhelmus'. In the world of philosophy and psychology, the most famous figure with the name is Wilhelm Wundt. He was a professor of psychology and was also known as the 'Father of Modern Psychology'. He was the first person to refer to himself as the term ‘a psychologist’. He also introduced the concept that psychology should be studied as a science, like biology and physics.
