That name is German, and they're famous for their acceptance of authority. Wonder how many Nazi bigwigs this guy has in his family tree?
Which reminds me of something my dad told me, of the time he spent in postwar Germany, de-militarizing the country. The Americans didn't confine their attentions to underground aircraft factories. He told me that when he and other Americans spotted a German wearing riding boots, they'd make him take them off. Old authority symbol, which the Americans zealously suppressed. No more killing Jews and Gypsies, now.
