Jaegermeister

Curt Mast, the original distiller of Jägermeister and son of the founder Wilhelm, was an enthusiastic hunter.^[2]

The name when literally translated means "master of hunters."^[3] It is a title for a high-ranking official in charge of matters related to hunting. The term Jägermeister had existed as a job title for many centuries. It was redefined in 1934 in the new Reichsjagdgesetz(Imperial Hunting Law), which applied the term to senior foresters and gamekeepers in the German civil service.
