About Nymphadora

Used in the Harry Potter franchise for the Metamorphmagus character, Nymphadora Tonks, this name is derived from Ancient Greek. Made up of doron meaning "gift" and 'númphē meaning "nymph" or "bride, young wife, girl", it is associated with a character who despises her name and refuses to go by it. A bold choice, though it does have the familiar nicknames Dora and Nora.

Nymphodora is the more classic spelling, borne by a 4th century saint.

Pronounced nim-FAD-uh-ruh.
