Ah, you googled it! But Webster's College Dictionary defines putamen as, "the stone inside a peach, plum, apricot, or other fruit" from the Latin root "to prune" . . ..

LOL. Terrific! I'm just glad I don't bear that surname! Perfect for rhyming...creative.

Most people are proud of their name, whatever it may be. Consider the millions of Smith and Jones who would never change their name to something that identifies them!
