Uilliam Uallas (in old Gaelic), or William Wallace (in English)

Comment on above: Do we know to what extent William Wallace, a lowland knight, spoke or would have been addressed in Gaelic? I know that the Wikipedia entry includes it but was his name ever recorded in that form?

Given that in the late C13 Gaelic was still, except to a tiny minority, a non-literate language, is not rendering William Wallace as Uilliam Uallas is a fairly redundant transliteration of an Anglo Norman name which would have been more or less the same in the mouth of a Scots speaker or a Gael?
