Dominique Weasley

Dominique Apolline Weasley (b. 14 December, 2005) is a part-veela witch and second daughter and second eldest child of Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour. She is also the sister of Victoire, Louis, and Camille Weasley. She attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 2017-2024 and was sorted into Slytherin.

Etymology

 * Dominique is the French feminine form of the masculine name Dominic, derived from the Late Latin Dominicus, meaning "of the Lord". It was traditionally given to a child born on Sunday in Catholic countries. It is also the name of a popular French song by Soeur Sourire, the Belgian "Singing Nun", about Saint Dominic and his fight against the Albigensians.


 * Apolline is a luscious French name chic in Paris and ripe for the plucking in the English-speaking world. Derived from the mythological name Apollo, the name may mean strength; Apollo was the god of sun and light.


 * Weasley comes from the fact that Weasels traditionally tend to be pretty sly and deceitful, but we’d wager this wasn’t supposed to suggest the Weasley family are in any way devious, but rather that the weasel’s bad reputation is undeserved. It’s also no coincidence, of course, that weasels live in a burrow… as do the Weasleys.
