The Fitzgerald House of Ireland

The hostess’s last name is Fitzgerald, and it happened that the USS Fitzgerald collided with the container ship and almost sank in the news. I used to know only Fitzgerald who wrote Gatsby, who was the gentle night and the great Gatsby, so I checked the Internet and found that this surname is very common, and Kennedy’s middle name is also Fitzgerald.

This surname should originate from the Fitzgerald dynasty in Ireland, but the Fitzgerald dynasty is not Irish, but Norman, and Norman is the descendant of Viking pirates. But their integration with the local Gaelic-speaking Irish is so close that they are considered "more Irish than the Irish".

The Mo Chuisle in the movie is Irish Gaelic, which is in line with Fitzgerald's Irish dynasty background. The screenwriter chose the name Fitzgerald, perhaps with careful consideration.
