Hi Dan, Phil and Listers ! IF you do decide to put any of this into Google Translate I think you will find that the latin for William is 'GULIELMUS' - that is with a 2nd 'L' just before the 'M' ?? This is based on my extensive knowledge of "Altar Boy Latin" from about 60+ years ago !! ;-)) Good Hunting !
