Vilmos has no meaning in Hungarian. The Hungarian word and equivalent

name for Zeev (wolf) is Farkas (Hungarian spelling were s =3D sh). My great grandfather's Hebrew name was Chaim Zeev and incidentally his Hungarian name was Farkas. As mentioned many time in the H-SIG there isn't always a connection between a person's Hebrew name to his Hungarian one. Isaac Katz Israel

And does it have anything to do with wolves? "Ze'ev" means wolf in Hebrew and the Yiddish-German-English counterparts to that Hebrew name were often Wolf or William (including my father and one of my mother's brothers).
