During an interview with FOX 11 program “The Issue Is,” Schwarzenegger revealed that the pig’s name is derived from the German word “Schnell,” which means “fast.”
“When we brought the pig home, it dashed out of the house, ran all over the property, and we couldn’t catch it,” Arnie said. His girlfriend came up with the name “Schnelly.”
