What came first: the name Ebenezer Scrooge or the word 'scrooge'? The word "
scrooge," meaning miser, is an
eponym evolving from
Charles Dickens' misanthropic character,
Ebenezer Scrooge. Dickens' classic
Yuletide tale,
A Christmas Carol, was first published in England on
December 19, 1843. It is the story of the penny-pinching Scrooge and his spiritual transformation through visits guided by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future. Scrooge's last name entered the English language to describe a stingy, misanthropic person. Later,
Disney gave the name to
Donald Duck's skinflint uncle,
Scrooge McDuck.
Quote:
"Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many — not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some." — Charles Dickens, from "A Christmas Dinner," the short story that evolved into
A Christmas Carol
