Names That Mean Helmet

Swedish and Norwegian form of the Old Norse name Asketill.

This cool surname and place name has multiple origins. As an Irish place name, it may derive from the Gaelic for "fair hilltop" or "head fort', while as a surname it comes from the Norse name Ketill, meaning "helmet, cauldron".

From elements meaning "a god" and "cauldron, helmet", this name is more at home in a Norse saga than on a baby, even in its native Scandinavia. But variants Askell and Eskil feel interesting and wearable.

This rare name is possibly a Romani version of William, or may derive from Old English elements meaning "wife" or "woman" and "land".

Medieval French diminutive of Gui (Guy), ultimately from William.
