What does Billie mean?
2 syllablesOrigin: Germanic languages

Billie is a pet form of Wilhelmina, the feminine version of William, which comes from Germanic elements meaning 'will' or 'desire' and 'helmet' or 'protection' — together read as something like 'resolute protector.' As a name in its own right, Billie has a long history as a nickname for both William and Wilhelmina.

It's a spunky, tomboyish name with a vintage charm that suits a pet with a scrappy, independent streak. Billie sounds like a companion who's small in stature but never short on nerve.
