    In WWE in the early 2010s, there was a mexican wrestler named “Alberto Del Rio” which, if translated, would be “Albert of the river”

    One day I started thinking about just how stupid that is. This guy is traveling the country in those days, going to NBA size arenas, and little 5 year old white kids are yelling at him in his native language “OF THE RIVER!!! OF THE RIVER!!!”. Not because the kids are being racist. The kids don’t even know it means that. They’re yelling it because that’s his “name”, and his boss is a racist who found it funny.

    Then some years pass, find out he beats women, and no longer feel bad for him.

      Meaning: “son of John”

      So “Indiana Jones” can be translated as “River, son of John”.

        River…John…John the Baptist.

        Indiana Jones was able to ride the sub because he was granted water powers by God as part of his quest to find the Ark!

    Indiana Jones was named after the dog – George Lucas’s or the Jones’s depending on if you want to go canon or not.
