Wilson

Derived from William, an old Germanic name. It became popular in England in the 1000s and 1100s, probably because people were naming their offspring Wilson - which was closely related to William the Conqueror. Wilsons are found primarily in Great Britain, and the United States. There is also a large number of people with this last name found in Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. It is also a very popular surname, eighth in the United States.
