have always had a fasination with names. i was named after a family war hero and ever since my mum told me, when i was a little boy, i loved the background of names as a small hobby while i go to library, traveling and the net. Just so happens that my significant other has a very unique name. She is from france and even there it is rare. Her name is Guilhemine. I cant find it in any website or book. Closest i came was a french writer "Guillemine" (no H), and can trace it as a female version of Guilaume or Guilem even Guilherme, which are the versions of William in France, Catalan, and Portuguese respectivly. I also came to Wilhemina Thats as far as i got with my limited resourses. I would like to know of any history behind this name famous people etc. or if you know anybody that bares that name.
