Etymology/Origin
- Willis is an English given name derived from the medieval personal name “Wil(l)”, a short form of “William,” combined with the patronymic suffix “‑is,” meaning “son of William.”
- The middle initial “E.” could represent a variety of common English names (e.g., Edward, Ernest, Edwin).
- Cohoon is a surname of Irish origin, an Anglicized form of the Gaelic “Ó Cuanach” or “Ó Cuana,” meaning “descendant of Cuánach,” a personal name possibly related to “cú,” the word for “hound” or “warrior.”
