Endre Weiszfeld, a childhood friend of Erdős, changed his name to Andrew Vázsonyi to escape persecution as a Jew. But much later, he also used the alias Zepartzatt Gozinto, at least for this book review. The story goes that the name arose when he made a joke in a talk and George Dantzig misheard it.
