Would have been better if they'd given her names starting with 'T'!

And I guess being a shoesitter is significantly easier than being a babysitter. (That is what 'Schoesitter' means, right?)

It's one of the many variants of the surname(s) "Schoensetters/Scoensetters".

Literally it means: "shoeputters", it's an Old Dutch word for cobbler/shoemaker. So.... one of her ancestors was a medieval cobbler.

For all your etomology questions regarding Belgian surnames, do contact me. It's not like I wrote a thesis on it. :sunglasses:

I think we have had at least Julajuj before: Guatemalan brings some strange things to the Spanish language with names, presumably of Mayan origin.

A few others I spotted in the Vuelta a Guatemala results:
Gerson TOC
Eli Alejandro SISIMITH
Adonias Nelson PANJOJ
Ramon AJPACAJA
William AJCAY
Henry SAM and
Julian YAK

It seems a shame that Fernando Tercero has never come third in a race, although Segundo Navarrete has a few runner up spots to his name.

I am new to this thread, and I am loving it. However, I am surprised that this guy has not been given more love and attention over the 60 pages so far.

He is not only second, but in fact he is the second coming of Christ:

NAVARRETE NAVARRETE Segundo Mesias

(And with a double surname as well just to make the name even more great).

Anakin Williams

Anakin Williams is a road racing cyclist from Australia, active between 2018 and 2019.

Here was me thinking Anakin was a made up name in the Star Wars universe. Apparently it's a legit Germanic name.
I wonder if George Lucas got the name "Skywalker" from David "Skywalker" Thompson.
