Gatsby is one of the most famous literary surnames, borne by the titular character of F. Scott Fitzgerald's <em>The Great Gatsby</em>. The book's Jay Gatsby gussied up his surname from Gatz, whose meaning is given variously as left-handed, cat, God, and person from Gat. As a first name, it's got a lot of energy and that great literary pedigree.
