Real-world considerations
- Spelling note: Forrest.
- This single-r spelling is distinct from the double-r name Forrest, which carries its own separate surname etymology and is the spelling associated with the fictional character Forrest Gump and the historical figure Nathan Bedford Forrest; no source consulted here documented those associations as belonging to the single-r "Forest" spelling, so they are not asserted for this profile.
