Re:What does Rumpelstilzchen means?
Rumplestiltzchen is a fairytale character who spun gold out of straw in exchange for a princess's first born child. When the time came for the princess to give her baby up, she refused. Rumplestiltzchen said if she could guess his name she could keep her baby. After much worry and wrong names, she heard him in the woods singing and he called himself "Rumplestiltzchen". The next day he came to collect the baby, she called out a few names and just when he reached for the baby she yelled "Rumplestilzchen". He was so angry that he stomped his foot into the ground so hard it got stuck. She kept her baby.

Re:What does Rumpelstilzchen means?
That's exactly the plot of the story. The song the dwarf sings in the woods goes like this: "Ach wie gut dass niemand weiss, dass ich Rumpelstilzchen heiss", which means "yeah, isn't it great that nobody knows that my name is Rumpelstilzchen?" Just for your information....Eric
