We need Christian to adjudicate this one, but, if Danish is anything 
to go by, the vold- element means 'force' or 'violence'.  Sorg means 
grief - so volde sorg presumably means very strong grief.

Morten is a name in Scandinavian languages.

So, I suggest: Voldemort = Violent Morten.

A-ha! Are we onto something here?
