1. K? She doesn’t have a middle name.
We know her as “J. K. Rowling” and we call her by that name. But, what does it actually stand for?
Joanne Kathleen Rowling.
Joanne is her first name and Rowling is her family name. But Kathleen is not her middle name. In fact, she doesn’t have any middle name.
Prior to publishing her first book, she decided to use initials for her pen name. Many book authors do this to avoid readers’ sexist point of view. Since one initial is not cool enough, she chose to use two before her last name. And she took the name Kathleen from her parental grandmother.
