In Ukrainian, the name Вільям changes its ending to Вільяме when someone is calling out to a person named William.
In formal Ukrainian documents, a person named Вільям would be addressed using the name alongside a patronymic, such as 'Вільям Іванович', even though the name itself is non-Slavic.
The soft sign ь in Вільям tells the speaker to soften the preceding consonant, making the 'l' sound more liquid than in English.
