My understanding of the term "your name is Mudd" is that there was a Dr. Samuel Mudd who treated a man who suffered from a broken leg. The injured man's name was John Wilkes Booth, the alleged assasin of Abe Lincoln.

Dr. Mudd was later interogated, investigated, slandered and libeled until his "name was mud."
