Etymology[]

  • The name "Stuart" is from an occupational surname originally belonging to a person who was a steward. It is ultimately derived from Old English stig "house" and weard "guard". As a given name, it arose in 19th-century Scotland in honour of the Stuart royal family, which produced several kings and queens of Scotland and Britain between the 14th and 18th centuries.
  • "Craggy" is another term for rugged and uneven terrain.

Behind the scenes[]

  • This individual's name is clearly a reference to Stuart Craig, production designer for the first six Harry Potter films.
