Finistirre, the last name of William H. Macy's character, is a misspelling of "finisterre", the ancient Latin expression for the edge of the flat Earth. It means literally "end (finis) of the Earth (terre)," or "land's end". It is also the name of the most western point of the Spanish region of Galicia, as well as the name of a French "département" (county) of Finistère located at the most western point of the country. The character's first name is Ortolan, which is the scientific name of a tiny bird controversially force-fed, drowned, and consumed whole in French cuisine.
