It's just the way its transliterated I think. It's just 'William' with a Spanish / Cuban twist.

Yuri is the Russian version of George and I ain't looked into it but at a guess it entered the Cuban naming tradition during the the years of 'fraternal cooperation' between the USSR and Cuba, though clearly they saw fit to add to the Greco-Russian root as they pleased.
