Gulielmo is Italian in Origin.

Gulielmo is a rare Italian/Latinized form of the name better known in Italy as Guglielmo, ultimately from medieval Latin Gulielmus and Germanic Wilhelm (wil ‘will, desire’ + helm ‘helmet, protection’). The core sense is “resolute protector.” The form arose where clerical Latin influenced vernacular spelling, especially in notarial and ecclesiastical records.

Medieval Italian charters frequently alternate Gulielmo and Guglielmo, and the name was prominent in Norman Sicily, whose rulers are remembered in Italian as Guglielmo I and II. Today, standard Italian favors Guglielmo; Gulielmo survives mainly in archival documents and as a learned curiosity. International cognates include William (English), Guillaume (French), Wilhelm (German), Vilhelm (Scandinavian), Guillermo (Spanish), Guilherme (Portuguese), and Uilleam (Scottish Gaelic); Liam is a widespread short form. Related diminutives or variants include Guglielmino (It.), Memo (It./Sp.), Will/Willy and Bill (Eng.). Feminine counterparts are Guglielma, Wilhelmina, and Guillermina.
