<P> In Latin Spanish - speaking countries, he is known as Largo, because of his height . In Brazil, he is known as Tropeço ("stumbling block"; also "I stumble, trip over"). </P> <P> Much of Lurch's history, including his first name and the nature of his relationship to any other Addamses, was originally unspecified . "Lurch" was revealed during the original TV series to be a surname, as there was a "Mother Lurch" who appeared in one episode . She addressed Lurch as "Sonny", which could either be a parental nickname or his actual first name . As for his father, he was mentioned twice, once in the second animated series, and in an apparent reference to his Frankenstein's monster - like appearance, Lurch said, smiling, "He put me together ." And another time in the original series where Lurch mentions his father wanted him to be a jockey (typically short and light people) instead of a butler . </P> <P> It was stated in Addams Family Reunion that Lurch is part Addams . This plays into his being a creation similar to Frankenstein's monster . The only definite body part that is from an Addams is his heart . Lurch's mother appears to be a physically normal, elderly woman, although she does not see anything unusual about the Addams family or their home, with the exception of Thing . </P> <P> In The New Addams Family, a woman comments to Morticia about Lurch, "Where did you dig him up?", to which Morticia responds, "Funny, I can't remember which cemetery it was ." Lurch is also referenced as having "two left feet". </P>
