History of "Whig"

Hi guys..

Whig is not a very common surname. So let me tell you a bit about the history of this surname.

My great great grandfather had gone to britain on a scholarship to study medicine. His surname wasn't whig. He was an honorary Lt Colonel in the british army. The brits couldn't pronounce his actual name properly ( which i don't remember . TODO: ask dad about this) . Anyways, since the goras couldn't pronounce his name, it slowly evolved into 'WHIG.

So now you know....
