Was "Liebig" someones actual name, or an ironic joke?

Justus von Liebig, "father" of argricultural toxification, who promoted
artificial fertilizers over natural ones. Never occurred to me but the pun
of his name is indeed ironic, & now I'll never be able to see his name
without thinking of that, thanks to you.

Liebig also invented ox blood cubes to be dissolved in water and drunk
down as a tonic or added to soups. A steaming cup of oxo and a blood
pudding ought to keep Dracula alive between fresh victims.
