Is this a personal name or a "retail" term? Explanation: You identified "Billy" as a "Bus/Financial" term, more specifically "retail." Then you asked, "What is Billy in Arabic?" I would rather ask, "What is Billy in English?" If you give us some context (a full sentence showing how the term is used in English) we would be in a much better position to give you a translation suggestion in Arabic. If "Billy" is a personal name (e.g., you signed your posting with the name Billy), then we can offer you a transliteration so you would see how the name Billy is written in Arabic letters, as follows: بِلي I know from past experience that many of my colleagues prefer writing Billy with a longer vowel, so as to make Billy sound like Beally, as follows: بيلي I hope this addresses your question.
