Do you guys know where the term "you're name is Mudd" came from?

The original was Dr. Samuel Mudd MD, who attended to John Wilkes Booth after his assassination of President Abraham Lincoln.

And then this happened

As far as Mudd, who attended to John Wilkes Booth (he likely didn't know Booth had assasintated Lincoln), he spent 4 years of his life imprisoned on the Dry Tortugas. These are islands in the tropical waters of the Gulf of Mexico 70 miles West of Key West... wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

That explanation is in question, mainly because use of the expression predates Lincoln's assassination.

As usual, Il Papa, you are correct. My calculations tell me, Captain, that while the use of Dr. Samuel Mudd's name was associated with the expression, "your name is mud" did predate the 1860's.

If the phrase wasn't originally 'your name is Mudd', how did it originate?

Mud is exhaustively defined in the OED as "soft, moist, glutinous material resulting from the mixing of water with soil, sand, dust, or other earthy matter". The word began to be used in a figurative sense as early as the 16th century to refer to things that were worthless or polluting. That usage was later extended to apply to people, as listed in the 1703 account of London's low life, Hell upon Earth:

Mud, a Fool, or thick skull Fellow.
