Dumbledore
d(u)-mbledo-re,
dum(b)-le-dore
Origin:British
Meaning:Bumblebee
This name is certainly magical, in every sense of the word! While you might only have previously heard this moniker used in reference to the wise, white-bearded headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Dumbledore has been around long before the Harry Potter books. It began as a surname, made up of the elements dumble and dore, where the former is connected to “bumble,” and the latter is an Old English term for “bee.” As such, Dumbledore means “bumblebee,” and brings to mind the buzzing, friendly insects that pollinate our flowers—a, dare we say, mystical feat of nature. Whether you are looking to pay homage to your favorite franchise or you want to encourage baby to live a sweet life, Dumbledore will do the (magic) trick.
