That is German for "William". And you've spelled it perfectly.

The name is mostly of German origin, but it is also used in Dutch (although the Dutch have in many instances changed the spelling to Willem). In Afrikaans (the language spoken in South Africa) both Wilhelm and Willem are commonly used.

Wilhelm is a German name. The 'w' at the beginning is pronounced like a 'v.'

Jack's right! With a name like that you could have become Kaiser...

German and Austrain mostly. I understand it to be written as you have written it. I have seen it spelt Velhelm as well.
