What's the etymology/meaning of your surname? I was looking at mine and it literally means "salty", bitch I know I'm salty but that was too redundant.

@NullTheFool@mastodon.gamedev.place not my actual name, I don't share a name with any of my relatives anymore, but the surname from one half of my family means "servant of god" which has a nice flavor of irony I think, considering that I'm pretty sure if I set foot in a church, either I or it would instantly burst into flames

@NullTheFool many many generations ago my forefather was a trader in Syria, crossing the desert with his caravan. In the distance he could see bandits approaching fast. He knew they would be the death of him, so he got off his camel and prayed for salvation. As the story goes, the ground started shaking, and a gap formed between the bandits and the caravan. They were able to get away without suffering any harm.
From that day on our name was Zalzala, which roughly translates to earthquake. -

@NullTheFool mine is a word in a few different related languages but the translation we fixated on as kids was...
"Cock Pigeon"
