Best Answer

No one, he made up this name himself. His real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle; he rearranged the letters of his name to form the phrase "I am Lord Voldemort", as can be witnessed in Harry Potter 2.

It should be noted that Voldemort comes from the French "vol de la mort," meaning "flight of death."

What is the last name of lord Voldemort?

Lord Voldemort's given name was Tom Marvolo Riddle. He was named after his father (Tom Riddle) and his grandfather (Marvolo Gaunt). As an adult, he made up the name "Lord Voldemort" for himself because he didn't like being named after his father, who was a muggle. As Voldemort demonstrates in the Chamber of Secrets, If you rearrange the letters in "Tom Marvolo Riddle" they spell "I am Lord Voldemort" Another answer: 'Lord' is hist first name, 'Voldemort' is his last name.
