The surname is based on Lady Mondegreen, a famous character of myth and legend! Jon Carroll, columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, periodically runs a story which gives the truth about "Mondegreen". A mondegreen is a mishearing of the lyrics of popular songs. The name itself comes from Carroll's mishearing of a line in a song from his youth about a valiant man who villains killed "and laid him on the green". He heard this as "Lady Mondegreen".[3] American writer Sylvia Wright coined the term in her essay "The Death of Lady Mondegreen," published in Harper's Magazine in November 1954.
