Vitalstatistix is a clever pun in English, derived from “vital statistics,” which refers to important numerical data, often related to health or demographics. The name humorously fits the chief’s rotund and imposing figure while also hinting at his essential role as the village leader. In French, he is called Abraracourcix, a name derived from the phrase “à bras raccourcis,” which translates to “with shortened arms,” a French expression meaning to fight fiercely. This name emphasizes his readiness for battle and his strong-willed leadership. In Dutch, he was first known by his French name, but in the newer translations he is now called Heroïx, a name clearly inspired by “heroic,” reflecting his brave and noble character as the chief of the indomitable Gauls. The name captures his role as a courageous leader who stands firm against Roman threats.
