“Steinhauer - rock breaker”

When I taught intro courses on campus, if I found a name like that in the lecture I would say something like, “stein - something to hold beer, hauer - modern form of haver, so the name means someone who has a beer mug,” deadpan with a straight face. Good students would take notes, bad students never listened anyway.
