  * **Zaphod:** The first name //Zaphod// is highly distinctive and most famously belongs to the character Zaphod Beeblebrox from Douglas Adams's popular science fiction series, //The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy//. Its use in a [[Harry Potter]] context is likely a direct reference or homage to this character.
  * **Brock:** //Brock// is a common English surname derived from the Old English //brocc//, meaning "badger."
=====Behind the Scenes=====
**A Non-Canonical Character**
Zaphod Brock is not a character created by [[J.K. Rowling]]. The name's circulation within fan communities may stem from a misunderstanding or a conflation of names.
It is possible that the name is mistaken for the canonical character [[Broderick Bode]], an [[Unspeakable]] who worked for the [[Department of Mysteries]]. Like Bode, who was sent to [[St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries]] after an incident involving a [[Prophecy]], the name "Zaphod Brock" is sometimes incorrectly associated with the [[Unspeakables]]. However, no character with the surname Brock is mentioned in this context or any other in the original series.
