The surname Wilson has more than seventy Coats of Arms to its name. Wilson is of early medieval English origin and recorded throughout the British Isles. It means a son or relation of Will, a nickname for William. The name was introduced into England by William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy. William soon became the most popular given name in England. One of the earliest emigrant to the New World was John Wilson, recorded in Virginia in 1623. Sir Robert Thomas Wilson, general and governor of Gibraltar, in 1801 received the rank of baron of the Holy Roman Empire.
