Harry Potter Name Origins #1: Harry James Potter

J.K. Rowling states that origin for Harry's surname actually came about because there was a family who lived down from her, who had that surname. She liked the family so much that she used that name for the series.




Harry Potter Name Origins #2: Hermione Jean Granger

Hermione's parents are two Muggle dentists and J.K. Rowling thought that these characters might chose a name, for their child, which proved that they were clever people. Thus, the origin for Hermione's name sprang from this concept and she named Hermione after a character from Shakespeare's play "A Winter's Tale".


Harry Potter Name Origins #3: Ronald Bilius Weasley

Bilius translates into anger or peevishness. The origin for his surname comes from the fact that weasels are deeply hated in Britain and Ireland. This surname suits the Weasley family very well because many of the older pure blood families looked down upon the Weasleys because of Arthur's interest in Muggles and their lack of money.
