""Mamute", meaning "woolly mammoth" in Portuguese. The name started in Bruno's last year of high school. As he walked to class, being a very large teenager, he touched something on the hallway that fell to the ground and broke. One of his classmates (who was of smaller stature) said "man, you are like a mammoth!" Bruno took offence and told his classmate to shut up. As a result everyone started laughing, and sensing that he didn't like the name his friends "baptized" him Mamute from their on."
