The name "Shrek" is the romanization of the Yiddish word שרעק, corresponding to German Schreck and meaning "fear" or "fright", but also used as a common exclamation, often in the form Oy Shrek!.The book served as the basis for the first Shrek movie and the popular Shrek film series over a decade after its publication.
