About the name Wiliane
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil analyzes Wiliane as Wili- + -ane. According to the Morfemário (morpheme list) of the same dictionary, Wili- is probably a fragment taken from given names of English origin, such as William and Wilson, where it corresponds to an element of Gothic wilja, 'will'; -ane comes from French -anne and appears in names such as Cristiane and Viviane. The name as a whole has no meaning known with certainty. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 6,245 people named Wiliane and 6,492 named Williane. Both spellings are almost always female, have most of their records among people born in the 1990s and 2000s, and are proportionally most common in Alagoas.
