Best Answer

His birth name was Tom Marvolo Riddle.

He hated his name, because his father was a muggle.

However, he made Lord Voldemort out of Tom Marvolo Riddle.

If you rearrange the letters Tom Marvolo Riddle can say

"I am Lord Voldemort."

You see him demonstrate this in HP and the Chamber of Secrets.

the name Lord Voldemort is an anagram of his original name...

as shown in the chamber of secrets...

Tom Marvollo Riddle, rearranges into...

I Am Lord Voldemort

This is of course the story in the book. Another question is how J.K. Rowling came up with this name. I think it comes from a book by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. The book is called vol de nuit (night flight) and in this book a pilot is sent to certain death as he is ordered to fly in very stormy weather. So it is a flight of death=

vol de mort in french=Voldemort.

He named himself that.. or rather J.K. Rowling named him that.

In the second book, Rowling reveals that I am Lord Voldemort is an anagram of the character's birth name, Tom Marvolo Riddle.

He discovered that his father, also named Tom Riddle, was a muggle who abandoned his mother. He didn't want to share a name with him and so anagrammed Tom Marvolo Riddle into I Am Lord Voldemort.

He made a snake into a Horcrux and so took on Snake like qualities.

He became progressively less human-looking every time he split his soul. Being the Heir of Slytherin, his face became snake-like.

Also, when his killing curse rebounded, it crippled him, so contributed to the deterioration of his face.

Lord Voldemort is a fictional character from the Harry Potter series written by J.K. Rowling. Lord Voldemort became famous for trying to take over the world and get rid of all people who were not pure blooded wizards. He was also known for using evil magic to kill and torture people. He used this magic to kill Harry Potters parents and tried to kill Harry as well when he was a baby, but for some unknown reason Harry survived. Voldemort is now on a mission to find Harry Potter and finish what he started.
