Bil is English in Origin.
Bil is a compact given name with two main lineages. In English it is a streamlined spelling of Bill, the diminutive of William (from Germanic wil “will, desire” + helm “helmet, protection”), giving the meaning “resolute protector.” In Old Norse, Bil names the girl who accompanies the moon-god Máni; the word bil means “moment, interval; lull,” so the name can suggest transience or a pause, lending a lunar, poetic association.
Modern use is rare but international. In English-speaking countries Bil appears as a minimalist variant of Bill and as a casual nickname for Bilal, Biljana, or other Bil‑ names. Related forms include Bill, Billy, Billie, Will, and William; cognates of William include Guillaume and Guillermo. In Scandinavia the mythic Bil remains a literary reference rather than a common given name. Overall the name is unisex but skews masculine.
