The Vandals were a Germanic tribe, although I wonder if they wouldnât have taken some grim amusement in knowing they sacked Rome so thoroughly that over a millennium later their name was still a byword for destruction. Hooligans are possibly named after a person or family, but it doesnât seem to be so well-established.
