More Double Meaning Names

Love the double meaning of names, and here are a couple more:

Minerva- the Roman goddess of Wisdom.

Sibyll- from the word "Sybil" meaning a female prophet.  

I even looked up Harry to see if there was a meaning:  Harry- (verb 
transitive) *harried, harrying* - to torment by or as if by constant attack, 
to make a pillaging  or destructive raid on.  

You could see how that could be twisted into his name....Harry has been 
tormented, and under attack, hasn't he?

Severus- although this was not in the dictionary- does have the word Severe 
(-e) in it...Snape is a bit of a *severe* teacher, is he not?

Voldemort has the word mort- from the french word for "death".  

Lily- (adj) meaning fairness, purity, or fragileness.
