Bill was a first name used in the Shire and Bree. In an early version of the Appendix on Languages (published in The Peoples of Middle-earth), J.R.R. Tolkien stated he used it to translate Westron Bil, which is a short for (untranslated and further unknown) names as Arambil, Bildad and Bilcuzal. It is possibly related to Adûnaic bêl-, "love", visible in Azrubêl, a name of Eärendil the Mariner.
