Why are Williams called Bill?
As a form of rhymed slang, it was quite popular in the 13th and 14th centuries to substitute another letter for the name’s original initial letter. At the time, there were hundreds, but the most are now extinct. As a consequence of this process, other names were created, such as Polly from Molly, Bob from Rob (from Robert), Hick and Dick (from Richard), Hodge from Roger, Molly from Mary, Sally or Sadie from Sarah, Dolly from Dorothy, Harry from Harold, and Betty or Bess from Beth (from Elizabeth).
Numerous of the original names that gave rise to these nicknames were Norman French names. Guillumme is a historic French name, while William is its English equivalent.
