Fitzherbert

In Disney's Tangled, Flynn Rider was an orphan who became a thief. He was born Eugene Fitzherbert, but changed his name in honor of a swashbuckling rogue named Flynnigan Rider that was character in a book he loved as a child. He met Rapunzel, who blackmailed him into being her guide. The two fell in love, and eventually saved each other from Mother Gothel. Rapunzel was reunited with her parents and Flynn received a full pardon. The two were later married.

Fitzherbert is derived from the French Norman name Fitz, which means 'son of' and the Germanic Herbert, which means 'illustrious warrior.'
