Tonks

Tonks is a British surname, most familiar from Nymphadora Tonks, a character in the Harry Potter series known for her shape-shifting abilities.

The name occasionally appears as informal shorthand for the character herself: I'm going as Tonks for Halloween.

Outside fiction, Tonks remains an uncommon family name of English origin.
