👉 "Willi Smith" comes from German for "Willkommen." It's a popular name in Germany, particularly among Germans who prefer unique names to stick to their family tradition. The root "willi" means "willow" or "willow tree," and the suffix "-smith" is often used to indicate proficiency in that field. In modern usage, it can also be a nickname for someone with a strong work ethic, as in the example of Willi Smith, who has consistently achieved success in his chosen profession.
