Either JKR accidentally got a great Latin meaning
for Malfoy (lose translation yes, but it works as well as some of the spells
latin meanings do), or it was intentional.  Thoughts on that?



My understanding is that Malfoy is French for "Bad Faith", and Draco is lating for "Dragon".  I don't think that Malfoy was ever intended to be  a Latin derivative.
primrose, new 'round here
