The Surnames of Scotland (1946) by George Fraser Black (1866-1948)

I have not met with this as a surname, but it has become the parent of a greater number of surnames than any other baptismal appellation. The following are the chief derivatives:-Fitz-Williarn, Mac-William, Ap-William, Williams, Williamson, Wills, Willes, Wilks, Wilkes, Wilkin, Wilkins, Wilkie, Wilkinson, Wickens, Wickeson, Wickerson, Willson and Wilson, Willcock and Wilcocke, Willcocks, Woolcock, Wilcox, Wilcockson, Wilcoxon, Willet, Willott, Willatts, Wilmot, Willmott, Willomat, Willy and Willey, Wille, Willis. Also Bill, Bilson, and Billson. An old provincial nickname of William is Till,-whence Tilson, Tillott, Tllotson, Tilly, and Tillie. Guilliam, Gilliam, Guillim, Gillett, Gillott, and Gilliat are also from this fecund source, as well as numerous continental surnames, which, though found in our directories, can hardly as yet be reckoned as naturalized amongst us.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower
