Roussin Trivia and Humor

Trivia
Roussin signifies a war-horse or charger; A nickname for Roussin was bellefleur, and Roussin is ranked 728 for the frequency of babies baptised (145) before 1800. Jean Roussin (born in 1597) is 9th on the list of immigrants to New France who had the largest number of married decendents before 1800 with 4,730!

Humor
I'll try to start a little family humor. How about calling a family member a "sin" - meaning they are the back end of a war horse?
And with 4,730 decendants prior to 1800, maybe Roussin means stud-horse instead of war-horse?
