Álvaro Mutis Jaramillo (August 25, 1923 - September 22, 2013)

Alvaro's birthday, August 25th is also my Grand daughters birthday, hence an addition to "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster.

 Note the etymology of Alvaro: http://www.behindthename.com/name/alvar

 From the Old Norse name Alfarr meaning "elf army", formed of the elements alfr "elf" and arr "warrior".

I wasn't able to find the etymology of his surname Mutis, butt it's similarity to the word "mute" is more than obvious.  I keyed in "Mutis" in the search box on the etymology site, and it actually brought up something:

mutism (n.) "state of being mute," 1824, from French mutisme (1741), from Latin mutus (see mute (adj.)).

mute (adj.) 

late 14c., mewet "silent," from Old French muet "dumb, mute" (12c.), diminutive of mut, mo, from Latin mutus "silent, speechless, dumb," probably from imitative base *meue- (cf. Sanskrit mukah "dumb," Greek myein "to be shut," of the mouth). Form assimilated in 16c. to Latin mutus.

mute (v.) 

"deaden the sound of," 1861, from mute (n.). Related: Muted; muting.
