I am with you on this.  I find the name "Krum" interesting, as it was the name of a ruler of Bulgaria.  This web site http://www.bulgaria.com/history/rulers/krum.html calls him, "energetic, courageous and steadfast ruler, ruthless when necessary," and gives a lot of other information.  For instance, it says, "But he is equally celebrated for another important contribution: Bulgaria's first written laws."  He ruled from 803-814.

If Viktor (not the meaning of his given name) is a descendant with a muggle father and witch mother, he might well be called a half-blood prince.
