Etym: A variation of Jacob, from Hebrew âqoob, whose meaning is not

supplanted". St. James the disciple, along with St. John, are sometimes
called boanerges, Greek for "sons of thunder", for their fiery zeal.

A type of wizard candy available at Honeydukes.
Jigger, Arsenius (PS ch. 5):
Author of Magical Drafts and Potions.
Etym: 1.5 fluid ounces; a measurement used for alcoholic drinks. So, a

to be evil and nasty.
Johnson, Angelina (PS ch. 12):
A Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.
Etym: Patronymic form of John, which is from the Hebrew name
Johanan "Jehovah has favored".
