Harry Potter Cat Names
- Rosmerta
Origin:
RomanMeaning:
"the great provider"Description:
Rosmerta is a Gallo-Roman goddess of fertility, abundance, and prosperity, often depicted holding a cornucopia. In the Harry Potter books, Madame Rosmerta is the landlady of the Three Broomsticks pub in the wizarding village of Hogsmeade.
- Rubeus
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"of the bramble bush"Description:
Made famous by the half-giant character of Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter series, this handsome Latinate name feels like a plausible possibility for a real child too, given its similarity to Ruben and Rue.
- Olympe
Origin:
French variation of Olympia
- Gellert
Description:
Gellert is a masculine name with Hungarian and Germanic origins, most famously associated with the Hungarian composer Gellért Szabó and St. Gellért (Gerard), an Italian missionary who became the first Bishop of Csanád in Hungary. The name derives from elements meaning 'spear' and 'strong,' reflecting warrior qualities valued in medieval European culture. Gellert gained literary recognition through J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series with the character Gellert Grindelwald, introducing it to a wider international audience. Despite this exposure, the name remains uncommon in English-speaking countries, maintaining its exotic appeal. With its distinctive sound and rich historical associations, Gellert offers parents a unique option that combines strength with cultural depth, particularly appealing to those with Hungarian or Germanic heritage.

"snowy"Description:

Origin:
English and French surnameMeaning:

It has only appeared once in the US stats for girls in 2022, when it was given to 6 babies.

German feminization of ROLANDMeaning:
