The name Yeti is derived from the Tibetan yeh-ti, and means "rock bear", and is said to have originated in the Himalaya's.

I'm appalled that there's people in this day and age that believed in that stupid legend.  And American no less.

ummmmmm...

It was also called chupasangre (blood sucker) for awhile, but that name died off at least 10 years ago.

Spanish terms are often very direct.... just like English. 

Doorman?  A guy that's a door?  Oh, wait, a man that opens doors.  You wanna make fun of language quirks, it goes both ways. ;D
