  <The consensus from the participating posters 
  then seems to be that Cho's name is not of 
  Japanese origin...and of course, translating 
  Chinese using Japanese dictionaries would be 
  very poor scholarship...Hermione would be 
  ever-soooo-appalled.  <g>

  There is one other possibility that I rarely 
  see discussed.  I'm afraid I've no formal 
  training in Korean so I've no answer to this: 
  Could Cho Chang be a Korean name?>

  Now Macha:
  I wrote during the thread about the ethnic origin of Cho's name that I had read in a JKR interview (cannot locate it...sorry), that JKR had stated that Cho's name was, indeed, Korean....I don't know how accurate this interview was although it claimed to be so...up unti then, I had assumed that she was Chinese as well...at this point, I'm half-way assuming she's Korean until canon tells me otherwise.
  My .02,
  Macha
