"Represents a bullet."
That would be on Schwartzenegger's coat of arms then.

In the days of my callow youth, I used to think his surname was tautological.

The en belongs at the end of the first word, not at the beginning of the second.

The r could be silent or simply a mistake.

Well eggen means to harrow, so I think it's not a great stretch to Egger as harrower. Of course, it could also just be some kind of suffix. Heidegger? Or there could've been a town of Schwarzenegg and Arnold's ancestor were from there ...
