Meaning & History
This given name is predominantly found in Latin America. Seeing as it is fairly common in especially Latin-American countries for parents to give their child a name that is a combination of their own names, this name is probably a combination of a name starting with Wil- (such as Wilberto and Wilfredo) with a name that contains -nel- (such as Cornelia, Nélida and Tusnelda).A known bearer of this name is the Puerto Rican actress and model Wilnelia Merced (b. 1957), who is married to the well-known English television presenter and entertainer Bruce Forsyth (b. 1928).
