How small your ego must be -- you mean you've never looked it up ?
It's comes from Old German and means "brave one", "powerful ruler".  Now 
let's see your ego inflate.  It's almost as good as my name -- "victor, 
victorious", "crowned one".
Wouldn't it be great if our popular names were as transparent in meaning as 
those in some other languages !

Best wishes,
