Made of hunters. Jäger = hunter(s).

By the way, Wienerschnitzel, like costoletta alla milanese, is always
made with veal. Anything else is just Schnitzel of whatever kind.
There are two different kinds of Jägerschnitzel. In western Germany and
Austria, Jägerschnitzel is named after the sauce with which it is
served, Jägersoße or Jägersauce, made with mushrooms and either cream or
tomatoes. A veal or pork escalope is breaded and fried and served with
the sauce. In eastern Germany, it is made with and named after
Jagdwurst (hunting sausage), which is sliced, breaded, fried and served
with tomato sauce.

The western version would be called costoletta di vitello (o di maiale)
alla cacciatora (o con salsa di funghi).
