With a Swedish(ish) surname.

He's probably Danish then.

With a Swedish(ish) surname.

Do Swedish people usually spell the name with a double 's'? Like Benny Andersson.

With one 's' it is a British name. Or an American name as Swedish immigrants probably drop one 's' when they move to USA, like Richard Dean Anderson's grandfather.

Yes, hence why I said "Swedish(ish)"

According to Wikipedia, the Danes moved into Denmark from the southern tip of Sweden in the 6th century.

If the Danes came from Sweden does that make them Swedish(ish)?

Is he relative of Chandler?

I'm going to assume that 'Beat' has a slightly less violent meaning in Switzerland.

	BLUM Beat	27/04/1975​
	OBRIST Beat​	16/07/1978​
	STEFFEN Beat​	16/01/1979​
	WABEL Beat​	23/03/1967​
	ZBERG Beat​	10/05/1971​

And the fact that they're all from around the same time, means that there was a time when the headline 'Beat beat Beat' would have been entirely within the realm of possibilities.

There's a big gap in his cycling career from 2003 to 2023. I wonder what he was doing for 20 years?

Unfortunately, it wouldn't have helped me much in this case.

 

[hrotha]

As a kid I always thought 'Beat' was an impossibly cool name but I had never stopped to think about it until now

It's just German for 'Beatus'

My disappointment knows no bounds

 

[RedheadDane]

It's just German for 'Beatus'

And you don't think 'Beatus' is a cool name?

 

[tobydawq]

And you don't think 'Beatus' is a cool name?

Do you think Beate is a cool name?

 

[RedheadDane]

Do you think Beate is a cool name?

'Beatus' is 'Beat', with a Latin(ish) ending!
