Ha, it doesn't really make sense.Essentially, in another post Terry says that Teague's last name is not Sparrow. People are taking it to mean that he's not Jack's father, but all that it really clarifies is that Jack invented the name Sparrow, and that he started off life as an ordinary man, savvy?
Yup! Crystall Clear thanks 😄

I think that Jack decided to make his las name Sparrow ever since he was branded as a pirate for setting those slaves free. Till then he loved the thought of freedom and sailing into the horizon, so he probably put the name "Sparrow" as his last name. He says his last name after saying Jack in such a proud manner.Since Beckette branded him a "P" for pirate, then Im sure Jack branded himself with the sparrow flying towards the horizon meaning freedom.
Omg thats soo true 😱 😱 😱
Its very cool how there is a deep story behind everything Jack does, like a hidden meaning
Somewhere back in one of these threads I posted that Jack's real name is Smith or Smythe. Jack's grandfather nicknamed him sparrow as a child, as he was always darting around. So when Jack had to assume a new identity because his own name was so well known in England he became Jack Sparrow.
This is strictly my imagination at work and trying to dig some things out of COTBP. Like how does Jack know Dante's writing if he has not studied it. At the time only the upper class in England attended school.
