Hermione Granger

Hermione's name is pronounced "her-MY-oh-nee" , as readers find out in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

This was the most frequently asked question J.K. Rowling received, so in The Goblet of Fire (GOF) book she cunningly had Hermione teach Viktor Krum how to pronounce her name properly.

Rowling said she obtained it from William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, claiming that she wanted it to be unusual since if fewer girls shared her name, fewer girls would get teased for it.

"Hermione", appropriately, is derived from "Hermes", the Greek god of invention, inspiration, eloquence and quick thinking. It is also the name of the legendary Helen of Troy's daughter in Greek mythology. Hermione's surname "Granger" may be derived from that of Joseph Louis Lagrange, one of the greatest mathematicians of the 18th century.

Her surname was originally going to be "Puckle" but it was quickly changed by Rowling because it didn't suit her. "Puckle" is a term for a goblin or elf.
