There's no single direct equivalent (as there is for David and Solomon, for example).
Etymologically, the name William means "determined protector;" so based upon that, a couple of likely Hebrew equivalents could be Shemarya or Gavriel.
Interestingly, of the Jews landing on Ellis Island in the early 1900s who wanted to adopt English names, no fewer than 97% of those named Zev (Ze'ev, meaning Wolf) chose the new name of William. So therefore Zev (Ze'ev) is another likely choice.
