Read posts above:

Dooku means poison in japanese according to Lee... just FYI.
A quick check with some online dictionaries reveals:
poison = doku, dokubutsu, dokuyaku, gaidoku, poizun
Apart from the obvious borrowing from English in the last instance, the root "doku" is present in every word. However, it's spelled and pronounced differently, but I'm willing to buy the theory that Lucas used the name to evoke "poison" to those who understand Japanese.
(Of course then I'd also have to consider whether Lucas intended German listeners to think of "obese" when they hear Boba and Jango's last name...) 😉
Look, to answer the ORIGINAL QUESTION "What's with the name Darth?" IT is a name appointed to all sith lords. Count Dooku couldn't of been Darth Dooku on 2 reasons, he's not a lord and it sounds stupid. Also didn't any of you hear the terms "Lord Maul" and "Lord Vader" which could give you a hint? It is a name to all Sith Lords. Darth Sidious (The Emporer) Even said he'd call him "Darth Vader" as a name And Darth himself said it was his name on ROTJ. So stop talking Bull shit.

Have you even checked an online dictionary to substantiate that claim?
ps like you're really german.
So, jetzt hör mal zu, Du kleine Pappnase. Bevor Du hier so unqualifizierten Müll von Dir gibst, ruf Dir lieber die alte Weisheit ins Gedächtnis: "Wenn man keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal Fresse halten."
Ich hab keinen Bock, hier mit dreizehnjährigen Kindern rumzudiskutieren.
Does this answer your question? 😛
