Or Herbology professors (Pomona Sprout). Though I suppose some family tradition/business could be involved there.
Fascinating! Now I'm very curious about the Hebrew translation, if so many names have obvious meanings. Did they try to give the characters names with meanings that fit, or something that sounds like the English name, or just leave them the same? Because I could see how you could run into a problem if a name that sounded like the original had a totally inappropriate meaning.
