About the name Welison
The Morfemário of the Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) explains the ending -son as a patronymic formative from English, 'son of', found in names such as Alison, Edson and Jefferson, and notes that, even between vowels, the s of this ending sounds like [s]. The origin of the beginning Wel-, or Uel-, is uncertain, and so is the meaning of the whole name.
