Last name origins & meanings:
- Polish: from Polish wilk ‘wolf’, probably from an Old
Slavic personal name containing this element, but perhaps also applied
as a nickname for someone thought to resemble a wolf or connected with
wolves.
- Scottish and English: from a medieval personal name, a
back-formation from Wilkin, as if that contained the
Anglo-Norman French diminutive suffix -in.
- North German: variant of Wilke.
