"Walking Dead" Surname Match (Seasons 3-4) Quiz

Answer: Williams

Sasha is Tyreese's big sister. The siblings lived in their neighbors bunker for a time and eventually joined the prison camp.

The origins of the surname Williams are unclear. It could come from "Guillemin," which in terms come from "Guillaume," the French name for William. Or, it could come from welhelm, which means the "shield or defense of many." Alternatively, it could originate from the Belgic word guild-helm, which refers to a gilded helmet.

Answer: Blake

The Governor's real name is Philip Blake, and he keeps his walker-turned daughter Penny locked in his apartment in Woodbury. When he encounters Tara's family, he uses yet another name, referring to himself as Brian Heriot.

Blake is most likely of Welsh origin. It comes either from the Old English word to describe a fair-skinned or fair-haired person ("blacc") or from the similar word used to describe a dark-skinned or dark-haired person ("blac").

Answer: Espinosa

Rosita comes with Abraham and Eugene all the way from Texas and meets up with Rick's group after the collapse of the prison. The surname Espinosa is of Latin, specifically Roman, origin. It comes from "spina," which means someone who lives near a defensive area protected by thorn bushes. The name is a good match for the rather thorny Rosita.

Answer: Porter

Eugene pretends to be a scientist who knows how to stop the plague of walkers in order to get Abraham to protect him. The surname Porter may derive from the Middle English word "porter" (from the Old French "portier") which was used to refer to a doorkeeper or gate keeper.

Answer: Ford

Abraham is on a mission to get Eugene to Washington, D.C. and temporarily falls apart when he learns Eugene has been lying to him. The surname Ford has a geographical origin - it was used to describe someone who lived near a ford, a word which is of Old English origin. The redheaded Abraham's name may, alternatively, be an anglicanised version of the Irish name Ó Fuartháin.

Answer: Stookey

Glenn and Daryl find Bob Stookey on the road, the last survivor of his group, and bring him into the prison. The surname Stookey is Anglo-Saxon in origin, and comes from a family who settled in the Stiffkey (pronounced Stukey) settlement in Norfolk county.

Answer: Chambler

Philip Blake runs into this family in an apartment complex after he burns Woodbury. Tara later becomes a prominent member of Rick's group. The origins of the surname Chambler are unclear. It may come from Chamblee, a French surname first found in Burgundy. In the 1880 census, over 70% of Chamblers in the United States were farmers.

Answer: Samuels

The Samuels are taken into the prison and may possibly be refugees from Woodbury. Lizzie and Mika's father, Ryan, is killed by the sickness that sweeps the prison, and Carol adopts them. The surname Samuels is of Anglo-Saxon origin.

One other surname we learn in season 4 is that of Dr. Caleb: Subramanian. Daryl calls him simply, Dr. S. Dr. S helps fight back the infection in the prison, but he eventually succumbs to it himself.

Answer: Mamet

Milton Mamet's alliterative name suits him well. He's a cerebral sort of character, who works as a researcher and scientist and studies and performs experiments on walkers. He works for the Governor, who eventually kills him by stabbing him. The surname is French in origin and most prevalent in France and Mauritius.

Answer: Martinez

Martinez is a Spanish name derived from the father's given name of Martin. Martin comes from the Latin Martinus. The root of Martinus is Mars, who, in Roman mythology, was the god of war. It's a fitting name for the war-like Martinez, who becomes the second-in-command of the Woodbury Army.
