JK Rowling's name is Joanne "Kathleen" Rowling. Jo herself does not actually have a middle name and she was told to create two initials for publishing. Kathleen is her grandmother's name. They originally didn't want to have her published as Joanne Rowling as they didn't think boys would buy a book about a wizard that was written by a woman.
