Best Answer

WC in the name W.C. Fields, America's Grandest Comedian stands for his real first and middle names, "William Claude". His last name, "Fields" is actually a shortened version of his real last name "Duckenfield". W.C. Fields shortened it because Duckenfield would not fit on a theatre markee.
