The same! By gum, sixteen of them? I got off easily all those years ago.

What do you know about Mazo? It looks like a circus name ... Mazo the Magnificent and his performing fleas ... or perhaps some kind of cleaning product ... or maybe I'm just taking my remembered boredom out on the helpless author.

Thanks for jogging my memory!

Years ago I tried to find out the origin of the name by looking at a biography of Mazo de la Roche and was unsuccessful. So the only thing I can tell you is that she was a woman.

Roche is a variant form of Roach which means rock dweller. So Mallet of the rock dweller.
