Here's mine:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Fuckebythenavele
Roger Fuckebythenavele was a 14th-century Englishman who was cited in court records of 1310–11. His name has been proposed as incorporating the earliest recorded instance of the English (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language) swear word (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swear_word) fuck (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuck).
Roger Fuckebythenavele is mentioned seven times (with minor variations in spelling) in the plea rolls (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plea_rolls) of the Chester County (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheshire) Court for the years 1310–1311. The "serjeants of the peace" had been ordered to arrest Roger and produce him before the court, but they had failed to find him, in consequence of which he was outlawed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlaw).[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Fuckebythenavele#cite_note-booth_2015-1)
In 2015, the historian Paul Booth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Booth_%28historian%29) drew attention to Fuckebythenavele's "opprobrious nickname". Booth argues that "there can be no doubt" that the element fuck in his name "has the sexual connotation". He suggests that either Roger was a man who had tried, through ignorance, to have sexual intercourse through his partner's navel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navel) (or believed that this was the correct way to copulate); or that he had engaged in frottage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-penetrative_sex#Frottage), rubbing his penis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis) against his partner's navel, possibly in order to avoid conception. Booth contends that this is the earliest recorded instance of the word fuck in English.[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Fuckebythenavele#cite_note-booth_2015-1)[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Fuckebythenavele#cite_note-2)[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Fuckebythenavele#cite_note-3)
