Default [Dixonary] OT: word choices

I just came across a word whose definition is essentially an inference of
something else.

My name has similar roots. What meaning it does have is just because,
centuries ago, a rather famous chieftain was also called by it, and the -an
suffix, in Gaelic, is a diminutive. My friend Erik's name is basically the
same, too.

Do we play words with a curious etymology AS their etymology? Or is that
outside our remit?
