[Facts] Re: Meaning of the name Gatsby
in reply to a message by Alice
Before I begin, let me warn you that I'm not an expert and this is not based on any research, but since no one has replied yet I wanted to give you my thoughts.The only time I've ever heard the name Gatsby was as a last name in The Great Gatsby. The character in the book was originally surnamed Gatz but changed his name to sound more important. I always wondered if maybe F. Scott Fitzgerald made up this name especially for his character.But I'll remind you that this is only my theory.
