Willis'Apu Name: (will-iss'-ah-pew)

Willis'Apu is an obscure name believed to originate in South-East Asian nations and likely influenced by the popularity of British names such as 'Willis' in the colonial era. Western names occasionally had an influence on native names and conglomerates were formed (e.g. Jon'het - Johnathon and Mohet) thus Willis'Apu appeared as a combination of the western name and popular local name'Apu'(popularised in the modern day by the Simpsons' 'Apu'). Although the full combination is largely redundant in the modern day (as the name has lost popularity), Willis'Apu was reasonably popular for a short time in small localities however few people of note possessing the name are seen at the time. Different dialects have differing pronunciations and spelling conversions but some text reference in diaries can be found containing similar sounding names or references.
