William is a very old name in the English language, which has Germanic roots.  In the old English, the letter W sounded more similar to German, where they pronounce W's with a V sound.  The shape of the mouth to create a V and B are very similar.  When the English language became a written as well as a spoken language, people used phonetic spellings of words. Therefore some people's names were listed as Will and some were listed as Bill depending on how the listener thought it was pronounced.\n\nNow, people choose which one they like better or that suits their person more.\n\nWhy is Dick short for Richard? That's the one I never understood.

LOL that's funny. I'm not sure where they got their actual name though.\n\nOk I just went a did a little searching about pews and this is what I found.\n\nThe Pews were reproduced by Max Meyer from the original pews in the Shawangunk Church. The Brass Name plates on the pews signify which family donated the pews to the church. The pulpit was fashioned by Mr. Myer after that of the stone church in Herkimer NY. The floors, pews and pulpit were treated by hand with burnt umber, linseed and turpentine to give the effect of aged wood. Pumice was used on the floor to harden the surface.\nhttp://www.crispell.org/newsletter_whatdoyouknow.htm

If you remove the space it is "Albuse" and they are a watch brand. The word "Albuse" seams to be a German name, so it could be German watchmaker.

Wednesday came from - wodnes dæg, meaning the day of the Germanic god Woden who was a god of the Anglo-Saxons in England \n\nWednesday is considered either the third or the fourth day of the week, between Tuesday and Thursday. The name comes from the Middle English Wednes dei, which is from Old English Wodnes dæg, meaning the day of the Germanic god Woden who was a god of the Anglo-Saxons in England until about the 7th century AD. Wodnes dæg is like the Old Norse Othinsdagr ("Odin's day"), which is an early translation of the Latin dies Mercurii ("Mercury's day"). Although Mercury (the messenger of the gods) and Woden (the king of the Germanic gods) are not equivalent in most regards, both gods guided the souls of the dead to the underworld.

Although Tungsten has its' origins in Sweden (Wolfram is a Swedish name), later in Spain it was found that they had not really isolated the element. Since it was now isolated, the scientists involved got to name it. Thus the name, Tungsten and the symbol 'W'.\n\nGet an "A".
