Originated from both parts of English and German dialects, William can be translated from English to either "Will", as in a desire, "or a protector". Like a Will, or a Trust, for your children to get their fair portion after a parent has passed away. Or William can translate from German to "warrior" or to refer to armor, such as a "helmet." Translations can easily get confusing. Even if there isn't a major difference in what it defines each separate meaning, someone from Germany may think you're just still learning the words full meaning in a foreign language. Got to love the language barrier. Humanely speaking, the Williams (or Will's) that I've known through my life are all different. The personality traits were either learned from the attitudes from the parents, or inherited through their ancestry.
