Please forgive me if I have inadvertently bent the posting rules here - this is my very first new thread. :) Since the Governator is an occasional topic of interest on Free Republic, I am guessing many Freepers have often wondered where Ah-nald's surname came from.

It's like a hyphenated surname.

I always thought it meant prevaricating RINO, Kennedy wanna be, at least that is the definition his actions wrote.

Interesting article in a way but in another sense, who cares? I guess that some leftist think that the sins of past generations are passed to the children and grandchildren or that appears to be what the term “White Privilege means but I don’t.
My last name technically means “Son of a Friar” which is odd in that friars are supposed to be celibate. Maybe that is an unconscious psychological reason that I’m not a Catholic but somehow I don’t think so.
Family names are oddly done in the West in that very few Smith’s. Baker’s, Wheelwright’s, or Patterson’s, Johnson’s and and Miller’s actually are those things or members of that occupation though I guess most Walker’s do walk. I think this comes from the late Roman Empire which had instituted sort of a cast system or perhaps the Doomsday Book in England though that is speculation.
In China the Family names delineate a clan or family rather than an occupation. There were fewer clans than occupations so there are very family names, especially when you realize that Chan, Chen, Chin, Ching and Chang can all be the same word in Chinese just pronounced differently as are Wong, Wang, Won and Pan, Ping, Poon.
Anyway, it was an interesting read.

I heard it was from field mucker, the guy who spreads composted (black) manure arround.
An appropriate moniker for a politician, eh?

the Egg is the plow; the Egger the plowman.
Schwartz not to the person, but to the plow.
SchwartzenEgg er
a plowman who uses a black plow
a forged plow
IMHO

It means ‘black plowman.’

Arnold “From the Black forest” seems to make sense as far as a european surname goes.

“You FIELDMUCKER!” Yeah, kinda rolls off the tongue.
But field mucking, unlike politics, is honest necessary work. I don’t think I’ll disparage field muckers by associating their name with politicians.
That’s a nice field mucking rig, by the way; probably cost as much as my house. :-)
