Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In this video, we’re going to be discussing Tom Riddle AKA Lord Voldemort, as well as the etymology of his name.
Tom Riddle recognized at a very young age that he was different than others, having caused all sorts of trouble at Wool’s orphanage before eventually being brought to Hogwarts by professor Albus Dumbledore. Because Tom was conceived via a love potion, he never had the capacity to feel love, or the emotions that a normal person might feel. This lead him down a very dark path, a path that he only embraced. Riddle, obsessed with where he had come from, began to research his family history, and eventually came to understand his relationship to Hogwarts founder, Salazar Slytherin.
He then returned to Hogwarts, and it was at this time that he discovered the Chamber of Secrets. This only perpetuated the dark path that he had begun to follow, and Riddle, recognizing that he was the descendant of Slytherin, set the Basilisk inside of the chamber of secrets loose on students in attempt to cleanse the school of muggle-borns.It was at this time that Voldemort had fully adopted the name Lord Voldemort, as by this point he had fully embraced the darkness, and no longer wanted to be recognized his his father’s name.
Tom didn’t like any of his names, and was very open about it from a very young age. In the Half Blood Prince, Riddle says to Dumbledore, very irritably, ‘there are a lot of Toms’. Voldemort had great aspirations, and wanted a name that was anything but common. For this reason, his new identity, ‘Lord Voldemort’ was born. ‘Lord’ has impositions of grandeur, and a complete lack of commonality, and Voldemort just sounds inherently sinister and fear-inciting.
In the Chamber of secrets it is revealed that Voldemort’s full real name, Tom Marvolo Riddle, is an anagram for ‘I am Lord Voldemort’. His name, though it seems fairly arbitrary, actually makes sense in many different ways- let’s start by breaking down all of the aspects of his name to see what his name is all about....

Minerva is actually the Roman variant of Athena the GREEK goddess of battle strategy and wisdom but it is a common mistake as the Romans copied the Greeks
@LegioXXI
@LegioXXI 4 жыл бұрын
No, the most common mistake is the belief that the romans "copied" the greek. Its true that Greece had an influence on latin culture (they had influence on almost everything by having colonies all over the Mediterranean and spreading their culture via syncretism), but the roman mythology is completely separate from the greek one, with own legends, origin stories, heroes (godly) locations and the relationship from the gods towards each other. Especially seen after Rome conquered Greece. The Romans actually still built additional, separate greek temples afterwards. Greek mythology still co-existed within the Roman Empire as separate religion. This would have never happen if the only difference were the names of the gods. Saying Rome copied Greece its like saying the Japanese copied the Chinese, or that Christians copied the Jews. "Being influenced by" and "taking inspiration of" or even "based on" is not the same as plain copying. Even modern copyright differentiates this. For good reason.

The fact that “ TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE” is an anagram for “ I AM LORD VOLDEMORT” always blew my mind. JKR must have chosen one name or the other first, and created the second as an anagram. But with that in mind, both names are so fitting on their own.

In my conworld of Illte, Lord Voldemort, translated Welauneqi, is one of the gods in the Illomi pantheistic religion. He is the god of the dead and the collector of souls, the end of all life. Swearing by Welauneqi is highly taboo, except in certain cases. In a court of law, f.ex, any oaths sworn are sworn by Welauneqi. One of the Illomi sayings is "Welauneqi neqi aj hami nauti", Lord Voldemort kills as he pleases, which every potterhead know to be true

In Dutch 'vol' is full, 'de' is the and 'moord' (which is spoken the same as mort) is murder, so it sounds like weird way to say full of murder. But in Dutch 'vul' means to fill and it sounds a bit the same. And voel (oe makes an English u/oo/ou sound) means feel. So if a Dutch speaker would here Voldemort, they would first here a grammatically incorrect 'full the murder' then think he/they meant 'fill the murder' and possibly think of 'feel the murder'. So that's mennacing, and not at al what Rowling thought of, and you do really have to think it through and I don't know what I am getting at with this...

Good video on the analysis of Lord Voldemort's name and the possible meanings of it. The majority of the names in the Harry Potter series seem to have some sort of meaning behind them that would apply to that character. Even the name of the orphanage that Tom Riddle grew up in could also have some sort of meaning. The last name of the main character in the 1941 book The Passionate Witch by Thorne Smith and Norman Matson as well as the 1942 movie I Married a Witch is Wooly which is about a mortal who marries a witch. Tom Riddle was the product of a witch marrying a muggle (mortal). Veronica Lake who played the witch in the movie I Married a Witch is blonde where that could come into play in the Fantastic Beasts films since Queenie is blonde as well. The meaning behind name of one of Harry's classmates could become clear in a future Fantastic Beasts film and even foreshadow a new character that will be introduced in FB 3. The name of the main character in the British version of Bell, Book and Candle is Anthony and he is put under a love spell by a witch who falls in love with him and in the 1920s generally an illegitimate child would take their mother's last name so Anthony Goldstein could foreshadow a child that is born to Queenie out of wedlock whose father would be a muggle. Sir Henry Tonks is the name of the facial injury artist who drew before and after pictures of soliders who underwent plastic surgery during WWI. and Tonks in Harry Potter is a metamorphagus who can change human shape at will, which is something a plastic surgeon can do permanently.

If you put the words Vol De Mort from french to english in a translator you get "Flight of death".

The etymology of Harry Potter names is so interesting. My personal favourite is Regulus Black. Regulus is a star in the constellation Leo, aka the Lion. I've always taken this as a hint that Regulus could have been sorted into Gryffindor, but perhaps, similar to Harry choosing to be placed in Gryffindor despite the hat wanting to place him in Slytherin, Regulus chose to be placed in Slytherin, after seeing the way his parents treated Sirius for being placed in Gryffindor. That's my theory, anyway. After all, his actions regarding the locket show us that he was quite brave.

Regulus' middle name? Arcturus, alpha star of the Bootes constellation. Bellatrix of Orion, Andromeda a constellation and a galaxy. Sirius, easy brightest star in the night and his uncle Alphard in the Hydra constellation along with Rastaban (Lestrange) of the Draco Constellation and his son Scorpius. Pollux Black was grandfather to Sirius. Then there is Neville's great uncle Algie short for Algieba also in Leo. Neville's grandmother I bet Rowling didn't know, Augusta is a main belt asteroid. Here is an odd one, Tom Riddle's mother Merope one of the Pleiades stars. Cassiopeia Black was a member of the House of Black and Sirius’ great-aunt. Delphini is the daughter of Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange (according to The Cursed Child, does it count?). In astronomy, Delphinus (Latin for “the dolphin”) is a northern constellation.

Please pronounce the name correctly. Voldemort is pronounced Vol-de-mor. The T is silent.

Tom, Thomas, meaning twin, I think would more likely be a reference to his "twin" nature with Harry, not necessarily that he has a twin.

Tom, the twin, may be a sneaky way to allude to the fact that he and Harry's wands will be twin cores. Just a thought.

Or maybe Tom did have a twin at one point, but either died in child birth or as an infant.

Heck, even in Danish, it translates to Vold -> Violence, a 'e' in the middle, then Mord -> Murder.

Just a thought but when you mentioned the fan theory abut tom/Thomas being twins would the horcruxes count as his twins as the share some of his sole

Not sure if you knew this, but the Black family is named after stars and constellations. For example: Bellatrix is the third brightest star in the constellation Orion and it means "Female Warrior" in Latin.

"I AM LORD Voldemort." That first part is interesting, as it is in invocation of the Divine Name, YHWH. The name itself literally means "I Am," and it's most common translation is "Lord." It is the height of Voldy's hubris, that he so heavily overestimates his power. Now, combine that with the image of the serpent, and you get the serpent's words, "Surely, you will not die, but you will be like God." Also, consider the name "Tom," then take a look at my username. I proudly embrace my true name, even if my username is somewhat encoded.
