Armstrong
The strange yet common aristocratic name Armstrong seems to be a pun-translation of Yzreel, which means “lordly offspring”: זרע zrˁ means “arm” & “offspring”, אל ˀl means “strong” & “lord”, so both together mean “arm-strong” but also “offspring-of-lords”. And Yzreel seems to one of many homonyms for Israel, which in turn puns with “veiled ruler”.
In a nutshell
- The name Armstrong is used by very many spooks, crooks and aristocrats.
- “Arm” is one translation for Semitic זרע zrˁ, which also means “seed”, because both are outgrowths.
- “Strong” is one translation for Semitic אל ˀl, which also means “god” or “overlord”, because both are “strong”.
- The name Armstrong can thus be interpreted as a translation of זרע-אל zrˁ-ˀl, which can mean “godseed” or “lordly offspring”.
- The spook-aristocrats likely mean to say they are “descendants of lords”.
- זרע-אל zrˁ-ˀl is even a Biblical name: Yzreel.
- And that name sounds almost like Ysrael, which puns with “veiled ruler” and other things.
Armstrong as an aristocratic name
Miles has already analyzed Lance Armstrong, Neil Armstrong and George Armstrong Custer, and outed them as spooks & frauds.
But of course there are many more Armstrongs. Since they’re legion, I’ll only list the aristocrats here. Wikipedia has the following entries for official aristocrats named Armstrong:
- Armstrong earls of Snowdon: Antony Charles Robert Armstrong-Jones, David Albert Charles Armstrong-Jones. Through their Jewish (grand)mother Anne Messel Armstrong-Jones Parsons countess of Rosse, they are related to the viscounts de Vesci and earls of Rosse.
- Charles Armstrong-Jones viscount Linley, son of the 2nd Snowdon Armstrong, and great-grandson of King George VI.
- Barons Armstrong 1st creation, created specifically for William George Armstrong, an arms manufacturer who was at the same time employed by the War Department. He “invented” the Armstrong Gun, was “compensated” when it wasn’t bought by government, yet was later allowed to sell it abroad.
- Barons Armstrong 2nd creation: William Henry Armstrong Fitzpatrick Watson-Armstrong, William John Montagu Watson-Armstrong, William Henry Cecil John Robin Watson-Armstrong.
- Armstrong baronets of Gallen Priory: Sir Andrew Armstrong, Sir Edmund Frederick Armstrong, Sir Andrew Harvey Armstrong, Sir Nesbitt William Armstrong, Sir Andrew St Clare Armstrong, Sir Andrew Clarence Francis Armstrong, Sir Christopher John Edmund Stuart Armstrong.
- Armstrong baronets of Ashburn Place: Sir George Carlyon Hughes Armstrong, Sir George Elliot Armstrong, Sir Francis Philip Armstrong.
- William Armstrong baron of Sanderstead, a banker working top posts in many financial government divisions: Exchequer, Overseas Finance Division, Home Finance Division, Home Civil Service, Privy Council. Was called “Deputy Prime Minister” and awarded several knight titles, apparently for being a bankster & insider.
- Scottish clan Armstrong, claiming to go back to a strong-armed earl from the 11th century.
There must be many, many more aristocratic Armstrongs though, since as of ThePeerage.com lists a whopping 692 people in the British peerage named Armstrong, plus a great number of variants.

Armstrong as a pun-translation of “godseed”
Armstrong may have been an actual regular name in Europe, but there must be an additional explanation why so many crypto-aristocrats like it. It may be a translation pun.
The Semitic root זרע zrˁ means “arm”, “seed”, “offspring”, “grain”. The common denominator is likely that all these things are outgrowths that branch off from something else.
The Semitic root אל ˀl is sometimes translates as “strong”, but mostly means “God” or “gods”, and is also used for powerful human lords, all of which are “strong” in a sense. Most famously, it is the root of the Semitic names Elohim and Allah for God.
Together, these 2 roots form the compound זרע-אל zrˁ-ˀl zera-el. With a Y prefix, this is the Biblical name Jezreel / Yzreel which officially means “God sows”. But it can also be translated into “arm-strong”, “god-seed”, and also “descendant of lords”, as ˀl el stands for both gods & human lords.
The name Armstrong as “arm-strong” can therefore be explained as a pun-translation of Yzreel meaning “god-seed” & “offspring of lords”. This is what the spook-aristocrats are: descendants of the god-overlords of ancient times.
Armstrong = arm-strong = zrˁ-ˀl = Yzreel / seed-god / offspring-lord / descendant of lords
Yzreel ≈ Israel = yšr-ˀl ≈ ˀzr-ˀl = veiled ruler
(I once suspected Yzreel to be the primary pun behind Israel, but it turned out there were many more.)
