Sweet Williams

I was discussing the merits of the Sweet William with an elderly gentleman in the queue at Waitrose when buying these. We agreed that there were few things more quintessentially English than a jam-jar full on a mantelpiece. However, neither of us knew why they are called Sweet Williams. Any ideas?? Please let me know.
