Berra
Berra is a surname, most famously associated with Yogi Berra, the Hall of Fame baseball catcher for the New York Yankees known both for his athletic achievements and his quotable malapropisms called "Yogi-isms." Phrases like It ain't over till it's over and When you come to a fork in the road, take it are attributed to him.
The name has become shorthand for folksy, paradoxical wisdom that somehow makes sense.
