>Does anyone know what "Schwarzenegger" translates to?

schwarz= black
egge= a harrow;  also a dialect form for 'Ecke' corner, edge, piece

So, his name probably means 'black corner.'  This would be a corner or piece of a field, town, or some such area.  The black could refer to the soil itself, or to an area that was black because it was in the shadows of trees.
