Étymologie (Anglais)

Literally, “well come”, from Old French bienvenu, from Vulgar Latin *bene venūtus, presumably a calque of a Frankish term, from Proto-Germanic *wiljakwemô (“comer, welcome guest”), from which many modern Germanic forms, as in English welcome. Eclipsed Middle French willecomme, from Old French wilecome (“welcome”), borrowed from Middle Dutch willecome or Middle English welcome.
Many cognates in other Romance languages, such as Spanish bienvenido, Italian benvenuto and Portuguese bem-vindo.
