Irish for 'strong willed warrior', Liam also means 'protector'. In its original form, it was a shortening of the Irish name Uilliam, derived from the Frankish Willahelm and meant 'helmet of will'. Liam is a fresh and contemporary option for boys who don't want to go with the time-honored William. For some time now, Liam has been one of America's most popular Irish baby names. The Social Security Administration revealed a meteoric rise in popularity, from No. 75 in 2008 to No. 15 in 2011, throughout the middle the to late 2000s. The first installment of the 'Taken' film series, starring Irish actor Liam Neeson, was released around this period. This undoubtedly helped propel the name into the spotlight. And after making his acting debut in the 2012 film adaptation of Suzanne Collins's bestselling novel 'The Hunger Games', actor Liam Hemsworth may have had a hand in things as well. A cool and amazing name like Liam deserves many nicknames. If you have a dear one named Liam and you would want to call them something special and unique between the two of you, look no further!
