She has no middle name. Although she writes under the pen name "J. K. Rowling", pronounced rolling ,she actually has no middle name, hence her full name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply "Joanne Rowling".

J.K. Rowling was not born with a middle name, but the publishers demanded a second initial so that boys wouldn't know the author is a girl and still read it. So Rowling took her grandmother's forst name "Kathleen" and used it as her middle name for "K".

Joanne Rowling. The K comes from Kathleen, her paternal grandmother's name, because she was asked to use two initials and she has no middle name.

Kathleen is her paternal grandmother's name and is a pseudonym because it was thought that young boys wouldn't read a fantasy series written by a female.Her real name is Joanne Kathleen Rowling

J.K. Rowling's real name is Joanne Rowling. She adopted the pen name J.K. Rowling to appeal to a more gender-neutral audience for her Harry Potter book series.
