Named After the Injury | comment |
A character who was Named After the Injury has a name, alias, or nickname that has to do with an injury they've sustained, typically a permanent one. Something like "Broken Nose Bob" or "Captain Scarhand". Probably the most common variant is "One-Eye". This is often played alongside Names to Run Away from Really Fast, indicating that a character is evil, or at least tough and/or scary. Perhaps they got the injury in an intimidating way, such as through escaping death or winning a fight, and are now known for the injury because of its famous origin. Maybe they are given this name because no one's been able to learn their real name and live to tell the tale. More sympathetic characters usually got their injuries trying to survive a dangerous situation or a dangerous life in general. This is common with pets, whose owners named them to acknowledge the injury, but also to emphasise that the pet's bad past is behind them (naming a quadruped who lost a leg "Tripod" is a common one). This trope can also be played for comedy. A character will get a nickname from an embarrassing injury that once happened to them but will never be forgotten. Sometimes, a character gets a ridiculous name or nickname from an equally ridiculous injury. Sub-trope of Meaningful Name. Compare Captain Colorbeard, Verbal Salt in the Wound, and Red Baron. Sometimes overlaps with Meaningful Rename, Every Scar Has a Story, and Headless Horseman. Commonly seen with Pirates. Can be an Embarrassing Nickname, Ironic Name, or Ironic Nickname. |

A flashback shows that he was initially annoyed with the nickname but it grew on him. We never find out his actual name. | |

Goldeye Silverhand Dactylos, a metalwork artisan from The Colour of Magic, creates such awe-inspiring work that his employers often end up mutilating him after he completes a job for them, not wanting him to create anything so beautiful for anyone else. His name comes from the fact that his first employer gouged out his eyes then paid him a fortune in gold, while his second cut off one of his hands then paid him a fortune in silver — he melted down their payments and turned them into prosthetic body parts. | |

Bleach: In the days before the founding of the Gotei 13, Shigekuni Yamamoto was nicknamed "Eijisai" because of the scar on his forehead, which was shaped like the "ei" (丿) radical. If there was one thing Yamamot hated, it was being called Eijisai. In spite of this, Sasakibe would repeatedly call him "Eijisai-dono" because he thought calling him by his actual name would be disrespectful. After Sasakibe fought Yamamoto in order to demonstrate the power of his newly-acquired Bankai, Sasakibe ended up giving Yamamoto a new scar across the old one, after which people started calling him "Jūjisai" because of its new shape. Much to Yamamoto's chagrin, Sasakibe stuck to his old nickname because he thought it would be presumptuous to call him something different because of a scar he gave him. Thus, out of consideration for Sasakibe, Yamamoto decided to give himself a new nickname: "Genryūsai". The new name stuck, and Yamamoto bore it for the next thousand years. | |

The Belgariad: The evil god Torak, who lost half his face in the ancient Divine Conflict he instigated, is sometimes called "One-Eye," "Maimed Torak," or "old burnt-face" by his more irreverent enemies. Senji, an old alchemist Belgarath and Garion meet during The Malloreon, has a clubfoot. Everyone (including himself) usually calls him Senji the Clubfoot, and he's also referred to in a prophecy as The Clubfooted One. |

Harry Potter: Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody got his nickname from the enchanted glass-eye he had fitted after losing his real eye while fighting death-eaters. The Gryffindor ghost is commonly called Nearly Headless Nick since his head was never fully cut off during his execution and is hanging by a thread of skin. He doesn't like the name, preferring his real one, Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington (however, it's rarely ever used). The Slytherin ghost is called the Bloody Baron due to being covered in blood, though nobody knows how he became like this. It turns out he stabbed Helena Ravenclaw, with whom he was in love, in a fit of rage, and then, shocked at what he had done, killed himself. |

Discworld: Black Aliss Demurrage, the Disc's most notorious Wicked Witch, was not called "Black" because she was wicked, but because of the state of her teeth. That's what living in a gingerbread cottage does to you. Goldeye Silverhand Dactylos, a metalwork artisan from The Colour of Magic, creates such awe-inspiring work that his employers often end up mutilating him after he completes a job for them, not wanting him to create anything so beautiful for anyone else. His name comes from the fact that his first employer gouged out his eyes then paid him a fortune in gold, while his second cut off one of his hands then paid him a fortune in silver — he melted down their payments and turned them into prosthetic body parts. |

Tolkien's Legendarium: The Silmarillion: Beren is given the epithet Erchamion (Elvish for "One-hand") when his hand is bitten off by a wolf during the quest to capture a Silmaril. The Children of Húrin: As a child, Túrin was friends with an old woodworker named Sador, whom he nicknamed Labadal ("Hopafoot") because as a young man Sador had injured one of his own feet with an axe, leaving him disabled. The Lord of the Rings: Frodo becomes famous as "Frodo of the Nine Fingers" after losing the tenth to Gollum in the climax of the story. A segment of The History of Middle-earth written in Old English names Maedhros as "Doegred Winsterhand" (Daybreak the Left-Handed), referring to the cutting off of his right hand by Fingon. |

The Order of the Stick: Redcloak gives his brother, who lost his left eye when paladins raided their village, the nickname Right-Eye. Later, after Redcloak loses his own right eye, Tsukiko mocks him by calling him Wrong-Eye, a Xykon-suggested way to get under his skin. Old Blind Pete was blinded by Bozzok as punishment for selling Thieves' Guild secrets. Before that, he was Eagle-Eyed Pete. |

Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere: Mary was chosen to play the role of Bloody Mary in the history recreation, but rather than execute a group of Anglicans, she chose to face them in combat to give them a noble death, leaving her body covered her scars. When she meets Tenzou, she doesn't give him her name, so he calls her Scarred because of the scar across her nose. | |

Turns out that Clarrie made the mistake of grabbing Erimem's backside back when they first met, prompting her to break his arm; even now that Clarrie has fully recovered, the nickname is too popular to get rid of. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: 4th Edition: Torog, the King that Crawls, is an evil god of torturers and jailers whose body was mangled in an ancient Divine Conflict. Forgotten Realms has a few Disabled Deities who have divine titles referencing their disabilities: Tyr, god of justice, is blind and missing his right hand. His titles include: The Maimed God, Blind, Blind Tyr, Wounded Tyr, Blind Overlord, Wounded One, One-handed and the Eyeless One. Ilmater, god of martyrdom and endurance, is covered with Wounds That Will Not Heal that represent his attempts to remove suffering from the world by taking it into himself. His titles include the Broken God and the Rack-Broken Lord. Gruumsh, patron god of the orcs, is known as the One-Eyed God. General consensus is that he had an eye gouged out while fighting a duel with the elf god Corellon Larethian, although Gruumsh's priests consider this heresy and insist Gruumsh has always had one eye. |

The Loud House: A rare heroic example — Lincoln reads comics that involve a superhero with a sidekick named One-Eyed Jack, who wears an eyepatch. The name comes from the slang term for Jack playing cards that have only one eye visible. In "Suite and Sour", Lincoln mentions a ghost called the Footless Bellboy, who allegedly lost his feet before he died and can be heard thumping along. The recurring character Scoots (real name unknown) is so-called because she is confined to a mobility scooter. It's unknown as to why; "A Flipmas Carol" reveals that she was that way even in her youth. |

Gruumsh, patron god of the orcs, is known as the One-Eyed God. General consensus is that he had an eye gouged out while fighting a duel with the elf god Corellon Larethian, although Gruumsh's priests consider this heresy and insist Gruumsh has always had one eye. | |

Warrior Cats: One old tomcat is named Halftail because his tail was bitten in half by an animal. Another elder, One-eye, was named after completely losing one of her eyes. She was originally called "White-eye" as she'd previously only lost all vision in this eye. Deadfoot was named as such because of his twisted ("dead") front paw. After Brightpaw was mauled by the dog pack and lost half of her face, Bluestar gave her the warrior name "Lostface" as a way to spite StarClan. One of Firestar's first acts as leader was to rename her "Brightheart". Upon breaking his jaw while playing on the stepping stones, Stormkit got renamed to Crookedkit, later Crookedjaw, and then Crookedstar. One minor character is named Tornear, likely because he has one. |

The Mountain and the Wolf: Sven Swordeater (confirmed to be named after the Everworld one) is an Ethnic Magician with hideous scars on both cheeks that ripple disturbingly when he grins (and he likely does it on purpose). He claims he got the scars during a fight that led to a Traumatic Superpower Awakening. | |
