KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Nearly every witch or wizard dares not utter his name and refers to him instead with such monikers as “You-Know-Who", “He Who Must Not Be Named", or “the Dark Lord".

Detailed explanation-2: -This is because of a jinx/spell called The Taboo. In the Second Wizarding War, it was Taboo to speak Voldemort’s name. In 1997, Voldemort became in charge of the British Ministry of Magic and ensured that no one could speak his name.

Detailed explanation-3: -Voldemort’s given name was Tom Marvolo Riddle. In the second book he explains that the appellation “Lord Voldemort” is derived from an anagram of his name: TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE → I AM LORD VOLDEMORT. This is also a play on words, as his name, Tom Marvolo Riddle, is also itself a riddle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Since the only individuals who weren’t Death Eaters themselves who dared speak Voldemort’s name were members of the Order of the Phoenix or their allies, the Taboo allowed Voldemort’s followers to track down their enemies. Anyone who dared to speak the name and break the Taboo would be hunted down as criminals.
