Ulick

Ulick is an Anglicized form of the Old Irish name Uilleag, itself an Irish adaptation of the Old Norse name Uilliam or, more precisely, a diminutive form of Uilliam, the Irish equivalent of William, which derives from the Germanic elements wil meaning will or desire and helm meaning helmet or protection. The name was historically used among Irish nobility, particularly associated with the Burke family of Connacht, where several prominent figures bore it during the medieval and early modern periods. Variants and related forms include Uilleag and the more widely used William.
