Who comes up with these names?

Schlitterbahn, is a water park.  An interesting name.  It sounds vaguely German, but does not translate to anything in German.  It sounds like something you might do when you see some of the insane waterslides.  

It is an American water park chain, based in Texas.  This one is in Galveston.

    1. Schlitt is what someone who lives on slippery ground is called. Do you suppose they actually knew what they were doing? Or maybe they were drunk on Schlitz when they named it,.
