Simply: Thief of Death - from the french.
Un Voleur = A thief
voler = to steal, and I think (correct me if I'm wrong) that Vol is the imperative form of steal, 
as in a command, Steal!
de = of
mort = death

  Catherine:
  Vol can also stand for "to fly" or "to flee" And for me "Voldemort" tanslates to "flee from death" which in fact has been his greatest ambition.
   
   I can't say what makes him tick. He certainly likes controling people, and it's not like he is out there risking his life on a daily basis, he gets his death-eaters to do that. I see him as a mobster, leading by promoting fear and hatred, rather than by earning respect. I would like to know what would happen if he got his way. Purebloods and pureblood-wannabe's everywhere, cowtailing to his demands, but no one to oppose him.  Would he really be happy? Does he even know happy? I think he would be bored without chaos. He has a journey and a destination in mind, but I don't think he would like it if he ever got there. He is so determined to overcome his own mortality, and he doesn't see any further than that. 
   
  I wonder if he'll become a ghost once he is vanquished. He and the Bloddy Baron can compete as chief ghost of Slytherin house....

  (For whom it took several years to stop spelling "family" with two  L's in english, and still has trouble spelling similar words in french and english, address and envelope being the two I never know how to spell in either language! address/adresse envelope/enveloppe. Sigh...the advatages and disadvantages of primary schooling in a second language....)
