I think Williams is short for Williamson which means "Son of William", but then where did William come from? lol


Here's one classic that is not pronounced differently... Innaloo

Yes you are write about the Willliamsons they go as far back as 1360 in the Nottingham area. Williams is the Norman form of "Guillaume".

Huey must be a form of the name 'Hugh'. It isnt in the book.
