A rare name of English origin, literally translating to "Shadow of the Shooting Stars." It implies a person who possesses a dark, cosmic resilience—someone who remains standing long after the flash of chaos has burned out.
In some circles (specifically traced to Swedish colloquialisms), the name carries a dual, hidden meaning: "Take it easy on this heart," signifying a tough exterior that protects a deeply feeling soul.
He’s been through hell and back, but he’s still standing. He’s a true Stellrow.
Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine.

You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. PenguinBooks,1992. p. 38)
