Best Answer

J.K. stands for Joanne Kathleen. Rowling was given no middle name so her full name is Joanne Rowling. Her publisher suggested she initialize her name to get boys to read the since it was unlikely they would if it was by a woman. So she chose her middle name according to her grandmother, Kathleen.

Her name is legally Joanne Murray. Rowling is her maiden name, used before she married anesthesiologist Neil Murray. She has no middle name, using instead the initial of her favorite grandmother.

J.K. Rowling's real name is Joanne Rowling. She adopted the pen name J.K. Rowling for her Harry Potter book series to appeal to a broader audience, as publishers believed using her initials would attract more young male readers.
