 Island of the Sharks  by Alan Williams
With the surname of Williams and the topic of "sharks," one could easily jump to conclusions that the two-note terror-theme from the mid-seventies would surface.

In fact, though it is a typical Welsh surname, in the sense that it is very widespread in Wales, it is not a Welsh-language surname at all (and nor are Jones, Williams, Evans, Harris, etc).
When the son had a child, he or she took as his surname the baptismal name of his father, or occasionally another forbear, or even a well-known member of the child's kith and kin; and thus the custom continued from father to son, and from generation to generation.
There is an abundance of English surnames in 'son' which point to a former tradition of using the father's name as an indentifier (However, in parts of England, such as Lancashire, even where people had fixed surnames, generally they would be known by patronymic forms in the local community, even into the 1900s).
