Beckett

Beckett began as an English surname, likely stemming from 'bec' meaning stream and 'tun' meaning settlement, or referring to a "bee cottage" or beehive. It gained wider recognition through the avant-garde playwright Samuel Beckett, whose Nobel Prize winning works explored profound existential themes.
