Rowena Ravenclaw
So, I was reading a theory today that Luna Lovegood could be related to Rowena Ravenclaw. This made me think and start doing research (which is always a bit dangerous).
Here is the entymology of the name Rowena (According the www.behindthename.com):
Latinized form of a Germanic name which possibly meant "fame and joy" from hrod "fame" and wynn "joy". According to the 12th-century chronicler Geoffrey of Monmouth, this was the name of a daughter of the Saxon chief Hengist.
Well, there is a Hengist in Harry Potter. He is the founder of Hogsmeade. He was driven out of his native home by muggle persecutors and then founded the Hogsmeade. Some suspect that his home was were the Three Broomsticks is located presently.
I suspect that Hengist of Woodcroft was Rowena Ravenclaw's father (Hogsmeade and Hogwarts are said to be founded around the same time). While this does not have anything to do with Luna Lovegood, I think we've found the location of one of the horcruxes.
Okay, just had to write this down so I wouldn't forget. I will write a well thought-out essay on it at a later date.
