I’m sure you’ve probably stayed up late at night in order to figure out what type of name ‘Chael Sonnen’ is. His mother chose his first name because it was the last five letters of the name ‘Michael’. As far his last name, Sonnen’s are heavily distributed throughout Texas and Pennsylvania. The last name originated from Germany and is applied as a term of endearment for a loved one, or a habitational name for someone living at a house distinguished by the sign of a sun. In 1984, a ‘Sonnen’ lived to be 95. This video sort of ruins the illusion that Chael Sonnen was spontaneously spawned from a delicate blend of a Siberian Tiger mixed with a fire-breathing cybernetic unicorn. Apparently Chael Sonnen is a human, bummer. He has an extended family comprised of normal human beings that all want him to progress in his career. Imagine that. [Source]
