Before names people used "Hey You, get over here"...wich could be confuseing when you had a large crowd..so of course they improvised... "Hey you..guy with the pitch fork, get over here"...to "Hey pitchfork guy, get over here" and finially just "PitchFork!!..get over here".

This has been a loosely paraphrased historical acount.......
