Dzhug

[Steve Baehr]

Coincidentally, my wife had mentioned at breakfast this morning that
she had read about the etymology of Dzhugashvili. According to E. Toddes
("Anti-Stalinskoe skikhotvorenie Mandel'shtama", +Tynianovskii sbornik:
Piatye Tynianovskie chteniia+ [Riga and Moscow, 1994], p. 206)+:
  "Dzhugashvili comes from the Osetian +dzhukha+--+musor+, +otbrosy+
(B. Unbegaun)..."

   Does anyone know if this etymology is correct?
