Wig is head cover. Whig was the name of a political in U.S. and also used in reference to 19th century Liberal party in U.K. Is there any connection other than pronunciation between these words.

pronunciation

HwWh-ig whig
wig! wig

usa generic last names are changed a lot to hide inside deeply xenophobic culture
Europeans would often change their names to odd common sounding
they needed the opposite of becoming famous to become rich

whig is probably German-austrian or Austrian, Swedish adaptation

& real name would be closer to 15 characters long

if they cant easily say your name
you will be persecuted
= normal society up until 20 years ago or soo
still common culture in many places

Flipping a Whig is probably illegal.
