Rizzo
Rizzo is a surname of Italian origin, most familiar in American culture from the character Ratso Rizzo in *Midnight Cowboy* and Rizzo the Rat from the Muppets—both scrappy, streetwise figures.
The name also evokes Frank Rizzo, Philadelphia's tough-talking mayor in the 1970s.
In *Grease*, Rizzo is the sharp-tongued leader of the Pink Ladies.
