Gretchen asked:
***"imagine them not even getting his name
right, Weasley. It's almost as thought he's a complete nonentity,
isn't it?"  Is he a nonentity?  It was suggested he was an
unmentionable-maybe he is, but uses another name for the sake of his
family.  Maybe he changed his name for other reasons?  Could this be
a "clue" into Arthur's past?***

How would being a nonentity be a clue into his past? A nonentity isn't a wizarding term- it's an English-language word and it means someone who has little consequence or significance.
I think you may be mixing this common noun with the proper noun Unspeakable, which jkr has coined for the books.
