I tried to name mine a variant of Captain Snow (the owl in the first Redwall book by Brain Jacques) but couldn’t get past the filters for naming conventions. I eventually called mine Warbeak, after Queen Warbeak Sparra from the same book.

Here’s some Babelfish:

Italian for Wise: Saggio
German for Wisdom: Klugheit
Sage is good
Italian for Owl: Gufo (haha)
Portuguese for Owl: Coruja
Spanish for Owl: Buho, for wise: Sabio
Dutch for Cunning: Sluw
French for Cunning: Adroit (used in English too as a synonym)
German for Cunning: Schlau (like the sound of this one)
Portuguese for Cunning: Destreza (good feminine name, along with Coruja)
Italian for Talon: Matrice (nice original name)
Spanish for Talon: Garra (also pretty cool sounding)

Hi there Bella, you might recognize my gravatar if you follow The Leaky Cauldron website…

As a hunter, I’ve owned a few owls over the past couple of years. I named one Minerva after Professor McGonagall, and since then I’ve named all other owls I tame Nicodemus. This is a NIMH reference, but also a reference to the Pharisee who liked Jesus… But that’s just me.

If you want to be true to the Black family’s alignment with Slytherin, you may want to consider the following names:

Phineas / Nigellus
Rodulphus
Regulus / Arcturus
Horace / Slugworth
Severus
Salazar

Hope this helps!

Some more ideas:

Athena – Owls were associated with Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom.
Arianrhod – A Welsh goddess who could transform into an owl.
Yama – The Verdic god of death who used the owl as his emissary
Lakshmi – Hindu goddess who traveled on an owl
