Vilmos is the Hungarian equivalent of William. I too have two great uncles whose names were recorded as Wolf at birth and were later known as Vilmos, or Vili.

Just a further thought on this question: does the name "vilmos" have a meaning in Hungarian? 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).
