Best Answer

Roald Dahl got the name Willy Wonka from an existing thin mint candy called "Willy Wonka" that he saw when visiting the United States. He liked the name and felt it captured the whimsical and playful nature of the character he was creating for his book, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".
