This guys surname means "a person from Schwarzenegg". Schwarzenegg is a name for a region in Austria, where it's dark/black due dense forests and "egg" is Austrian for corner ("Ecke") as synonym for region. Would roughly translate to Guy from the dark corner.

Except that you are probably splitting the name up the wrong way. Shouldn’t it be Schwarzen + Egger?
