Nomen Est Omen: Are You Cracked?

Is your name your fate?

Oops! Something is wrong somewhere! It’s YOU! It’s in your DNA!

My name goes back to Old Germanic and it means “wise adviser.” All my life, I have kept wondering if that was true, but I always tried to live up to it. This time, however, I would go for “Malone.” After all, there is a public figure posing as a “Dr” Malone; he is even claiming to be the inventor of mRNA technology, which is “fake news,” because the technology was developed in the Soviet Union by 1981. It is true that it was not put into use in public (by now, it can be used as a military-grade bio-weapon that can go, for instance, against specific races, and you can complain that it is “racist”), because it would have initiated an uncontrollable chain reaction that had the potential to kill off the human race.

He may have very well been a major developer of the ingenuously-creative concoctions that were injected into humans since late 2020 and the Turdeau/Bidet club is still encouraging their subjects to get more or the same thing, although the whole needle thing has become a side show, because the delivery systems have become diabolically overwhelming:

What has changed since 1981?

By 2001 or so, the most important segments of the human genome had been mapped up. By now, the map is supposed to be complete. However, it provides no more certainty about the meaning of the components than you could derive from a text written in trillions of languagea in a couple of quadrillion pages that you cannot understand. Any of its ingredients can be linked to any others anytime, and the links can become active or dormant anytime without further notice. Only a combination of them can provide a human “characteristic” that the technocrats are so hell-bent to target, including their wish to live forever (which I would fully grant them as long as they stay among themselves, if I were God). Although humans will never be able to comprehend the depth and complexity of this dynamic open system, an AI can, but only to a certain extent; it would need to go back about 250 thousand years in order to process and understand the changes in the human DNA, which might enable it to come up with some halfwit/half-real computations. Obviously, that’s not an option, although the Savior of Twitter, who has put tens of surveillance satellites into orbit is promising that you will be free and you can link your humanity to one of those tiny graphene-based nano-computers that are already in service in the bodies of the injected and link humans to the global Internet of Things (IoT), although it happens to kill them every once in a while:

The guy is Elon Musk, whose name, in the tradition or Omicron/moronic can be easily converted to “Lone Scum.” But let me not run ahead of myself.

Folk etymology

According to folk etymology, you can understand anything in any way you like or, more like the way you can. That reminds me of me, having to start my classes by asking my students,

“If you don’t understand something I say, how do you know, who is stupid?”

It all went down to my recommendation to ask questions before judging.

Because correcting papers often took longer than it is fair, I figured that sloppy or lazy students might as well work for their grades (they had a chance to keep re-writing their papers, but they had to receive a passing grade on each one of them in order to pass the class); I usually expected my students to write down the reason why their mistakes in their papers were indeed, mistakes. The only explanation I refused to accept was, “it doesn’t make sense.”

For folk etymology, Quora comes up with the following examples (there are plenty more):

Bridegrooms, Bonfires, and Woodchucks: Folk Etymologies in English. From that link:

• The textbook examples for English are sparrowgrass for asparagus, and bridegroom, which should have been bridegoom. (The word gome for “man” became extinct, so people grabbed the nearest similar word. Now that the noun groom for “horse attendant” has also become extinct, people use groom to mean bridegroom.)

• Apparently cockroach is a folk etymology mangling of cucaracha, and Algonquin otchek became woodchuck.

• A bonfire was originally bonefire; people assumed the bon- is French.

• The change of femelle to female in English was a folk etymology linking it to male.

An example I discovered just this year, because of Quora, is the Greek for toyboy or twink, teknó. It looks like a mis-stressed version of the Ancient Greek téknon “child”, the word with which priests address their parishioners. (Insert your own joke here.)

In fact, it’s from the Romany tiknó, “small (child)”. Kaliarda, the cant of Greek street queens in the 60s, used Romany for its base vocabulary, just as its counterpart Polari for English used Italian. Someone along the line noticed the similarity of tiknó to téknon, and switched the vowel accordingly. (Amusingly, someone also noticed it in 1800: Etymologicon magnum, or Universal etymological dictionary, on a new plan [By W. Whiter].)

… Unless Romany tiknó is derived from téknon itself, of course. But I’m reasonably sure it isn’t: Scandoromani derives it from Sanskrit tīkṣṇa “sharp”.

Now, it’s time to have some fun with the name “Malone.”

I am using the few languages I know and some details from popular culture that is readily available, although I’ve never known about any of them. In “Malone,” everything points in the same direction most of the time, but I am leaving the interpretations of the combinations up to you:

1. Mal + ohne (GER) - “times” (as in “many times”) + without (freely understood as “nothing);

2. Ma + lone (ENG) - mum (left?) alone;

3. Mal + one - “bad” as in “malicious” + one, as in “one”; and that’s a funny one;

4. Malo (RUS) + ne (HUN; -ne is a suffix for “Mrs”) - wife of “bad”;

5. M + alone - morbid, maligned, malcontent, and whatever starts with an “R” and fits into the picture + (standing) alone;

6. Malon (Malón, from the Mapudungun maleu, to inflict damage to the enemy [1]) is the name given to plunder raids carried out by Mapuche warriors, who rode horses into Spanish, Chilean and Argentine territories from the 17th to the 19th centuries, as well as to their attacks on rival Mapuche factions; from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mal%C3%B3n) + “n,” the constant variable in algebra;

7. Malon also means “Malon”

8. Believe me or not, “Malon” is actually a name: https://www.babynamespedia.com/meaning/Malon, understandably, with all its connotations, it is not very popular these days;

9. “Malon” has a few other connotations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malon; “Benoît Malon (1841-1893), a French socialist political leader; František Maloň (1913-?), a Czech rower; Iván Malón (born 1986), a Spanish footballer; Places. Malon, Burkina Faso; Malon, Homalin, Burma; Malon, Zaragoza, Spain; Other uses. Malón, plunder raids carried out by Mapuche warriors.”

10. It’s not all bad: https://zelda-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Malon

“Malon (マロン Maron?) is a recurring character in the Legend of Zelda series. In a majority of her appearances, she and her father Talon are the owners of Lon Lon Ranch, where they raise cows, Cuccos, and horses. Malon also frequently appears in conjunction with the mare Epona as well as ‘Epona's Song’.”

It’s your turn now; I am limited to English, German, Hungarian, Russian, and Latin. I’m sure you can still add to the list, which is not exactly good omen…
