Willadeene

American invented name

"will + valley"

Willadeene Origin and Meaning

The name Willadeene is a girl's name meaning "will + valley".

The Social Security Lists show Willodean and its variant spellings to have been used throughout the 1920s and 30s especially in Southern states. There are a few theories on its origins (an invented name created to honor William/Willard and a a female name ending in "-dine", or it may be an Anglicization of a Native American name). Either way, it has a willowy sweetness that deserves a comeback.

Willadeene Parton is the older sister of singer and philanthropist Dolly Parton.
