James Fleamont Potter: Behind the Name

James:

The Old French form of Jacob derived from the Latin Iacobus via Late Latin Iac(o)mus. Jacob, in turn, the English form of the Hebrew Ya'akov, meaning "supplanter". In the Torah, Ya'akov twice used deception to steal the birthright of his elder brother Esau. In the Christian New Testament, James is the name of two apostles, one of which is believed to be the person who first brought Christianity to the area that is modern Spain. In the 17th century the Scottish king James VI inherited the English throne, becoming the first ruler of all Britain.

James’ name, however, has a different origin. It is his parents’ Westernization of the Sanskrit name Jayam, meaning ‘victory’. 

His mother’s nickname for him is “Jamie”, and she is the only person he allows to call her by this name. Anyone else who attempts it is immediately threatened with violence.

Fleamont

A created name with two potential meanings. Flea from from the Latin fleon, which means to “flee”, while mont is French for “mountain”. Together, “to flee the mountain”. Alternatively, Fleamont could also be derived from Fleaman, which comes from Fleeman, derived from an old Anglo-French word, fleming. Fleming is a term used as a slang term for people born or living in Flanders, a region in Europe spanning across Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and parts of France and Germany, where the population speaks Dutch.

This is James’ father’s name, who in turn was given the name as the dying wish of James’ great-grandmother to preserve her maiden name.

James generally does not share his middle name with others. He doesn’t hide it when asked, but he knows that his father dislikes the name, going by “Monty” all his life.

Potter

The Potter family derives their name from the 12th-century wizard Linfred of Stinchcombe, nicknamed “the Potterer” due to his eccentric nature and absentmindedness. It is additionally a common muggle occupational name for a maker of pots. This commonality was used to publicly justify their exclusion from the Sacred Twenty-Eight. In reality, they were excluded due to a centuries-long tradition of believing in wizarding equality with muggles.

The Potters gained their fortune through Fleamont’s invention of Sleekeazy's Hair Potion. Thus, in addition to not being considered “proper” purebloods, they’re “new money”. James thinks that the distinction is stupid whenever it’s brought up.

( harris dickinson, twenty-five, cis male ) hey, was that LUCIUS MALFOY passing by? I didn’t think the PUREBLOOD was a student, but I’d recognize HIM anywhere. rumor has it they’re working as a/an RESTRICTED SECTION LIBRARIAN, so who knows what they’re doing here. they always reminded me of PLAY WITH FIRE BY SAM TINNESZ. I’ve also heard they’ve been recruited by THE DEATH EATERS. but despite all that I think they’re still DEDICATED, CHARISMATIC & CLEVER and MANIPULATIVE, RUTHLESS & SELF-SERVING. and the SLYTHERIN alum still reminds me of a freshly dry-cleaned and starched suit;; oversteeped tea drying the inside of your mouth;; thick fog obscuring well-manicured grounds;; the smell of silver polish;; pieces of a shattered crystal decanter dripping with blood-red wine;;. well, then, I guess some things never change.   ( aleeza, twenty-six, est, she/her )

Andromeda Druella Black Tonks: Behind the Name

Andromeda

The name of a constellation and a galaxy contained within it. In Greek mythology, Andromeda was the daughter of Queen Cassiopeia. When Cassiopeia boasted that she and her daughter were more beautiful than all the Nereids, Poseidon ordered a sea monster to attack their country. Andromeda was chained to a rock as a sacrifice for the monster. When Perseus arrived to slay the monster, she was saved and he took her as his wife. However, thinking she should not escape her punishment, upon her death Poseidon placed her in the heavens chained to a throne.

Andromeda also goes by “Andy” and, less frequently and usually only by her husband, “Dromeda”

She very much sees “Andromeda” and “Andy” as different personas she puts on depending on how close she is to the person she’s talking to. Andromeda is the ice queen, the perfect eldest daughter of the House of Black, the ruthless Slytherin, the girl with the ramrod straight posture and the flawless manners. Andy is her softer side, the hopelessly in love romantic, the girl who has every Elvis record, the housewife that bakes just to fill the house with the smell of biscuits, the mother to both her daughter and her sisters.

Druella

Andromeda’s mother’s name. Her Rosier grandparents likely meant it to be a form of the Latin name Drucilla, meaning "dewy-eyed" or "fruitful". It is also, in its own right, a Germanic name meaning “an elfin vision.”

Having had a strained and distant relationship with her mother from birth, Andromeda has never used her middle name.

Black

After the color. In Western culture, the color black is associated with darkness and evil, but also with prestige and sophistication. In ancient China, black was associated with water, which corresponds to Slytherin, the traditional house of the Black family.  In English heraldry, black represents darkness and ignorance.

The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black is known to be one of the oldest and wealthiest Pureblood families in all of Britain. The family motto is Toujours Pur, or “Always Pure,” and most members of the family took this to heart. Any impurities in the line, be they muggles, muggleborns, squibs, or blood traitors, are quickly pruned from the family tree along with the family members they tainted.

Andromeda is fairly well-known among Pureblood circles as the first Black child of her generation to have been disowned. She happily owns this reputation, especially because it’s equally known that she “left for love” after falling for Ted. She normally drops her name, but occasionally during both wizarding wars she used it as a middle name as a way of protecting her daughter through reminding people of who she was.

Tonks

A patronymic muggle surname from the name Tonk, a diminuative of the Aramaic name Thomas, meaning “Twin”. The muggle Tonks family historically emerged in the Midlands, with the first Tonks on record appearing in 1250 and family history claiming that they held a family seat in the region as early as the Norman conquest.

Andromeda started practicing her signature as a Tonks long before the wedding so that it would be flawless the day after. In fact, it got so into her muscle memory that signing it as Andromeda Black on the marriage certificate felt and looked unnatural. She may have accidentally signed a few documents at her job at Gringotts with Tonks before the wedding, but nobody ever noticed or called her out on it.

do you think you are good enough for narcissa?

"I think every star in the sky wouldn't be enough for Narcissa, though she deserves every last one of them. Oh, listen to me. Going on like I'm a bloody poet. . . . ...No. I'm not. But I'll be damned if I'm not going to try to be."

Potter Manor, Devon

By the late 1930s, Effie and Monty had given up on having children. They built their dream home to nobody’s taste but their own. Delicate art deco and art nouveau elements, rich fabrics and dark wood furniture imported directly from Mumbai, all situated on an estate that sat directly on the River Tamar. The home could only be described as “eccentric,” but it was always filled with warmth and light and music and love.
