英语词汇caconym的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

caconym. A caconym, deriving from the Green caco, “bad, evil,” and onoma, “name,” is a bad or undesirable name. Many caconyms were given to people in German-speaking countries during the early 19th century, when all citizens were required to take surnames and village clerks often assigned objection- able ones unless bribes were given. An apocryphal story is told of two men who paid such bribes. “You can’t imagine how much it cost to have the m put in my name,” said Herr Sch- meiss.” (Schmeiss means “fling” in German, while Scheiss means “shit.”) “You can’t imagine how much I paid to have the m taken out of my name,” replied his friend, Herr Schutz. (Schutz means “protection” in German, while Schmutz is “filth.”)
