【比尔·盖茨】的名字由来？

bill 钞票 gates 门 钞票门 满家都是钞票 这名字好 所以叫这个名字啊！

开玩笑啦！
William Henry Bill Gates III was born in Seattle, Washington, to William H. Gates, Sr. and Mary Maxwell Gates, who was of Scottish descent. Gates has one elder sister, Kristi (Kristianne), and one younger sister, Libby. He was the fourth of his name in his family, but was known as William Gates III or "Trey" because his father had dropped his own "III" suffix.

注意 其原名中是有Bill的！KBE不是名字的一部分，而是爵位。

我估计是 因为 他家族的很多人名字都一样（除了 bill和几世） ，更关键的是他爸爸是三世，他是四世，但他爸爸把三世那个词给省了，如果他也叫威廉盖茨三世的话就跟他爸爸本来应该叫的名字混了，如果叫四世的话中间就少了个三世，所以就常把 Bill 跟姓 Gates 放一起了，而不叫威廉盖茨三世或者威廉盖茨四世。 相信正式场合（像签合同）他还是签威廉 盖茨 三世。
