I heard the saying 'your name is mud' was derived from Dr. Samuel Mudd. He was the physician who treated John Wilkes Booth after the assassination of Lincoln.

At least that is the story told at Fort Jefferson where he was imprisoned.

Likewise the story told at the Ford's Theater Museum in Washington, DC.
