You are pretty much on the mark as always, Nan. Liam (LEE-am), a legit Irish name which can mean "resolute/unwavering protector", derives from Uilliam, the earlier Irish form of William. Uilliam in turn comes from the French Guillaume, introduced to Ireland in the 13th century or thereabouts by the Anglo-Normans.
