Hello, I have to make a small correction, Wilhelm Tell, the Swiss hero, appears at the anglicized version of the name. It has not so much importance, but in Switzerland you say Wilhelm and not William Tell. That's it, thank you for considering this comment. [noted -ed]
The Wilhelm Scream is a sound effect commonly used in movies. (Which is probably why I'll never really be able to take anyone named Wilhelm seriously, though I think it is a very distinguished-sounding name.)

Wilhelm Tell, the German way of saying William Tell.
