Is "Will" a name of a person?

Answer 1

Yes.... It's a pretty common name.

Answer 2

Can also be short for Wibur, Wilfred, Wilmer, Willard, Wilhelm.

Answer 3

Haven't you ever heard of Will Rogers?  Will is typically short for William and I think it sounds a little more sophisticated than Bill.

Answer 4

Yes *Will * is a name, I found this for you on www.ancestry.com

Will

English: short form of William, in use since the early Middle Ages, when it was occasionally used also for various other given names containing as their first element Germanic wil will, desire (e.g. Wilbert and Wilmer).

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

USUALLY it is a nickname, for William.

If the parents so chose.. they can select any name they want for a child, so it is not impossible that this could be the full original name.  One would have to find a birth certificate if available to be sure.
