One way to interpret the name would be: someone who is tied closely to his brother, desires to protect, and feels he is from a lost place.

Jacob is a cognate of James. It refers to "heel grabber" since he held on to the heel to his twin brother Esau inside Rebekah's womb.

William is a cognate from the German Wilhelm: wil = "will or desire"; helm;"helmet, protection".

Spradley is a variant of Spratley, which is a habitational name, from a lost or unidentified place.
