A German, Anglo-Saxon and Jewish surname, meaning "knight" in German or "lively person" in Anglo-Saxon. (Szprynger in Polish and Š
pringer in Slavic languages).
Amazingly to some people, there are other Springers in the world than Jerry (Unfortunatly there aren't that many interesting ones, so I added a few of my own):
Aaron Springer - Animator and occasional director of animated programming.
Chairman Springer - First leader of the Peoples Republic of Springer.
Julius Springer - German Founder of what became Springer Publishing.
Mark Springer - British composer and actor.
Mike Springer - American professional golfer.
Primordial Springer - Ancestor found amongst the
primordial soup, having developed into a human before the rest of the soup reached land.
Robert Springer - Astronaut who went to Mars. Okay fine just normal space.
Springy Springer - The ideal Springer, not yet discovered.
T.A. Springer - Dutch mathematician responsible for something really interesting called Springer correspondence.
Yakov Springer - Polish-Israeli
weightlifter killed at
Munich '72 :(
As you can see, Springer does not mean some slag who wants to be on TV because she shagged eight men in a week. It's also a dog,
killer whale and some places in America.
Person - "Wow, I never knew that there were actually people in the world called Springer who aren't
Jerry!"
Me - "I know, our superior intelligence and
ancestry will
surely mean we soon take over the world from our fellow humans."
Person - "What?"
Me - "Nothing."
