[Facts] Re: Can someone tell me the meaning of my surname "Wills"?
Wills is probably like Wilson, so somewhere before 1066 in England and ancestor of yours was Will's Kid, hence Wills.

Well Johns, Williams, etc are just possessive (cant remember how to spell that) name. Like my previous example that John there is Wills, therefore he is John Wills.However I will check my Aunt book on surnames.
