馬爾福Malfoy的姓氏來自古法語，意為「背信棄義」。像許多英國貴族家庭一樣，阿爾芒·馬爾福Armand Malfoy作為諾曼軍隊Norman army的一員，跟隨威廉William the Conqueror來到了不列顛。由於馬爾福在此期間為威廉提供了某些未知的暗中幫助（基本確定是魔法），他得到了威爾特郡（Wiltshire）黃金地段的一塊土地。這塊土地本屬於當地的地主，他的後裔在這裡生活了連續十個世紀。

老奸巨猾的祖先阿爾芒將許多讓馬爾福家族與眾不同的特質銘刻進了血統之中。正如他們姓氏所暗示的那樣，馬爾福家族一直有著狡猾之名，並在一切地方儘可能地追求著金錢和權利。儘管他們是純血的鑒定簇擁著，並且一直堅信巫師的基因優於麻瓜，但必要時他們從未停止過討好麻瓜們。這使他們成為不列顛最富裕的家族之一，多年來也一直有諸如「馬爾福家成功涉及麻瓜資產和貨幣」的傳言。幾百年來，馬爾福們成功計劃併兼並周圍的麻瓜土地，而且憑藉和皇室的良好關係，他們的麻瓜藝術品收藏也不斷擴大。

漫長的歷史中，貧窮麻瓜和那些有錢有勢的人在馬爾福的世界裡有著明確的界限。甚至在1692年巫師保（那個）密條例實施前，馬爾福仍然活躍在出身高貴的麻瓜圈。據說考慮到必須退出麻瓜社交圈，他們還是當時該條例的堅定反對者。儘管馬爾福的後代對此堅決否認，但有充分的證據顯示，第一位盧修斯·馬爾福曾不成功地追求過伊麗莎白一世，甚至還有魔法史學家稱，女王之後反對婚姻是因為馬爾福的詛咒。

幾個世紀以來，馬爾福一直奉行著明哲保身的原則。自從保密守則生效後，馬爾福就與麻瓜貴族斷絕了往來。馬爾福認為進一步的反對和抗（那個）議只會使他們遠離新的權力中心——剛剛建立的魔法部。他們的態度發生了一百八十度大轉彎，開始像那些自始至終支持法案的人一樣聲援條例，並否認他們與麻瓜有過任何交往（甚至通婚）。

大量的財富保證了他們對魔法部相當（且令人厭惡）的影響力，儘管馬爾福們從未考慮過部長之位。人們常說犯罪現場永遠找不到馬爾福的影子，儘管犯罪的魔杖上也許布滿他們的指紋。獨立的財富，沒必要謀生，這些使得馬爾福更傾向成為權力寶座背後的角色，也更樂於看著別人辛苦工作並承擔失敗。他們在競選中資助自己看好的候選人，據說還包括做一些臟活（比方對反那個對者下咒）。

馬爾福對不能帶來珠寶或影響力的麻瓜以對及大部分巫師的明顯蔑視，自然地將他們引向了純血論。這似乎也是他們在20世紀的幾十年里，獲得不受約束的權力最可能的來源。從保密條例實施起，馬爾福家再無一人與麻瓜或麻瓜出身者通婚。但與岡特（Gaunt）和萊斯特蘭奇（Lestrange）家族不同，馬爾福家族規避只與少數純血家族聯姻可能造成的衰弱和不穩定，所以馬爾福家譜上有很多混血。

過去幾個世紀馬爾福家的著名人物包括尼古拉斯·馬爾福（Nicholas Malfoy），他被認為是通過裝黑死病趕走了一批暴躁的麻瓜房客，但卻逃脫了無事委員會的譴責；賽普迪莫斯·馬爾福（Septimus Malfoy），他對18世紀末的魔法部有巨大的影響力，很多人認為當時的魔法部長昂科圖·奧斯博（Unctuous Osber）只是傀儡一個；阿布拉克薩斯·馬爾福（Abraxas Malfoy），人們廣泛認為他涉足了迫使第一任麻瓜魔法部長諾比·里奇（Nobby Leach）提前離職的黑幕。

阿布拉克薩斯的兒子盧修斯成為了一名食死徒，但他在伏地魔的兩次失勢後都逃脫了入獄之罰。第一次，他聲稱自己中了奪魂咒（儘管很多人相信他與魔法部高層有勾結）；第二次，他提供了之前反對食死徒的證據，並協助魔法部逮捕了很多逃亡和藏匿的食死徒。他的兒子德拉科在霍格沃茲大戰中被哈利救下，現住在威爾特郡的莊園。

（吐槽：最近研究納粹種族主義論帶給世界尤其是歐洲的傷害，繼而慨嘆盧修斯·馬爾福這類富而不貴的種族論者的可鄙之處甚少有哈迷能夠深刻體會。喜歡盧修斯·馬爾福的迷妹，不是無知就是無恥。我想前者應該占絕大多數）

英文原文：
The Malfoy name comes from old French and translates as bad faith. Like many other progenitors of noble English families, the wizard Armand Malfoy arrived in Britain with William the Conqueror as part of the invading Norman army. Having rendered unknown, shady (and almost certainly magical) services to King William I, Malfoy was given a prime piece of land in Wiltshire, seized from local landowners, upon which his descendants have lived for ten consecutive centuries.
Their wily ancestor Armand encapsulated many of the qualities that have distinguished the Malfoy family to the present day. The Malfoys have always had the reputation, hinted at by their not altogether complimentary surname, of being a slippery bunch, to be found courting power and riches wherever they might be found. In spite of their espousal of pure-blood values and their undoubtedly genuine belief in wizards superiority over Muggles, the Malfoys have never been above ingratiating themselves with the non-magical community when it suits them. The result is that they are one of the richest wizarding families in Britain, and it has been rumoured for many years (though never proven) that over the centuries the family has dabbled successfully in Muggle currency and assets. Over hundreds of years, they have managed to add to their lands in Wiltshire by annexing those of neighbouring Muggles, and the favour they curried with royalty added Muggle treasures and works of art to an ever-expanding collection.
Historically, the Malfoys drew a sharp distinction between poor Muggles and those with wealth and authority. Until the imposition of the Statute of Secrecy in 1692, the Malfoy family was active within high-born Muggle circles, and it is said that their fervent opposition to the imposition of the Statute was due, in part, to the fact that they would have to withdraw from this enjoyable sphere of social life. Though hotly denied by subsequent generations, there is ample evidence to suggest that the first Lucius Malfoy was an unsuccessful aspirant to the hand of Elizabeth I, and some wizarding historians allege that the Queens subsequent opposition to marriage was due to a jinx placed upon her by the thwarted Malfoy.
With that healthy degree of self-preservation that has characterised most of their actions over the centuries, once the Statute of Secrecy had passed into law the Malfoys ceased fraternising with Muggles, however well-born, and accepted that further opposition and protests could only distance them from the new heart of power: the newly created Ministry of Magic. They performed an abrupt volte-face, and became as vocally supportive of the Statute as any of those who had championed it from the beginning, hastening to deny that they had ever been on speaking (or marrying) terms with Muggles.

The substantial wealth at their disposal ensured them considerable (and much resented) influence at the Ministry for generations to come, though no Malfoy has ever aspired to the role of Minister for Magic. It is often said of the Malfoy family that you will never find one at the scene of the crime, though their fingerprints might be all over the guilty wand. Independently wealthy, with no need to work for a living, they have generally preferred the role of power behind the throne, happy for others to do the donkey work and to take the responsibility for failure. They have helped finance many of their preferred candidates』 election campaigns, which have (it is alleged) included paying for dirty work such as hexing the opposition.
The Malfoys unfeigned contempt for all Muggles who could not offer them jewels or influence, and for the majority of their fellow wizards, drew them naturally towards the pure-blood doctrine, which seemed for several years in the twentieth century to be their likeliest source of untrammelled power. From the imposition of the Statute of Secrecy onwards, no Malfoy has married a Muggle or Muggle-born. The family has, however, eschewed the somewhat dangerous practice of inter-marrying within such a small pool of pure-bloods that they become enfeebled or unstable, unlike a small minority of fanatic families such as the Gaunts and Lestranges, and many a half-blood appears on the Malfoy family tree.
Notable Malfoys of past generations include the fourteenth-century Nicholas Malfoy, who is believed to have dispatched many a fractious Muggle tenant under the guise of the Black Death, though escaping censure by the Wizards Council; Septimus Malfoy, who was greatly influential at the Ministry in the late eighteenth century, many claiming that Minister for Magic Unctuous Osbert was little more than his puppet; and Abraxas Malfoy, who was widely believed to be part of the shady plot that saw the first Muggle-born Minister (Nobby Leach) leave his post prematurely in 1968 (nothing was ever proven against Malfoy).
Abraxas』s son, Lucius, achieved notoriety as one of Lord Voldemorts Death Eaters, though he successfully evaded prison after both Lord Voldemorts attempted coups. On the first occasion, he claimed to have been acting under the Imperius Curse (though many claimed he called in favours from high-placed Ministry officials); on the second occasion, he provided evidence against fellow Death Eaters and helped ensure the capture of many of Lord Voldemorts followers who had fled into hiding. His son, Draco, was saved by Harry Potter during the Battle of Hogwarts, and currently resides at the family estate in Wiltshire.

尼古拉斯·馬爾福

Nicholas Malfoy（約14世紀40年代在世）是馬爾福家族的成員。據信在此期間殺死了許多麻瓜房客，並在之後將其死亡原因歸咎於黑死病。如果這是真的，那麼馬爾福就逃脫了巫師議會的譴責，並逃脫了懲罰。

Nicholas一詞來源於希臘語的Nikolaos，意為「人民的勝利」。這可能指代馬爾福殺了大量麻瓜，但是沒有受到懲罰。
Malfoy 源於法語的mal foi，意為「不守信用」。

布魯圖斯·馬爾福

看某人的魔法是否蹩腳最確切的一個跡象就是看他是否表現出對非魔法人群的喜好。
——布魯圖斯·馬爾福，1675年於《戰爭中的巫師》

布魯圖斯·馬爾福 (Brutus Malfoy)（1675年在世）是一個生活在17世紀的巫師。他是反麻瓜刊物《戰爭中的巫師》的編輯，提出了「喜歡麻瓜的人在魔法上都是啞炮」的觀點。他1675年寫道，「看某人的魔法是否蹩腳最確切的一個跡象就是看他是否表現出對非魔法人群的喜好。」

在布魯圖斯·馬爾福生活的年代，麻瓜對於男巫和女巫的迫害也到達了頂峰。在這種情況下，反麻瓜的情緒在魔法社會中廣為蔓延。而布魯圖斯本人則一直持有「喜歡麻瓜的巫師全都智力低下、魔法蹩腳」的觀點。

布魯圖斯的後裔包括阿布拉克薩斯、盧修斯、德拉科和斯科皮·馬爾福。

「Brutus」是一個羅馬姓氏，在拉丁語中意為「沉重」。同名的著名人物有盧修斯·朱尼厄斯·布魯圖斯 (Lucius Junius Brutus)，是羅馬共和國的主要締造者；馬爾庫斯·尤尼烏斯·布魯圖斯 (Marcus Junius Brutus)，組織並參與了對凱撒的謀殺。

塞普蒂默斯·馬爾福

Septimus Malfoy是一個生活在18世紀末的純血巫師。他對於當時的魔法部有著很大的影響力，許多人甚至認為，時任魔法部部長安克謝斯·奧斯博特只不過是馬爾福的傀儡，而馬爾福才是實質上的魔法部領導者。

Septimus源於拉丁語，意為「七」。

德拉科·馬爾福

（翻譯來自【跪求翻譯】德拉科馬爾福的故事【pottermore吧】_百度貼吧）

德拉科·馬爾福作為獨生子在馬爾福莊園長大，這是威爾特郡的一座宏偉豪宅，他的家族在這裡傳承了幾個世紀。從他會說話的時候，他就明確知道自己是特殊的：首先他是一個巫師，而且是一個純血，最重要的，他是一個馬爾福。

德拉科在一個因黑魔王沒有成功掌控巫師社會而遺憾的氣氛中長大，儘管大人謹慎地提醒他，這樣的情緒不應該在家人和親密的朋友的小圈子外表露出來，「否則爸爸會陷入麻煩」。德拉科在童年主要接觸的都是父親的前食死徒親信的純血孩子，當他去霍格沃茨上學時，他早就有了自己的朋友圈子，包括西奧多·諾特和文森特·克拉布。

像每個和哈利·波特一般年齡的其他孩子一樣，德拉科是聽著「大難不死的男孩」的故事長大的。關於哈利如何在本應致命的攻擊下存活下來，流傳過許多不同的說法，最持久的一個說法是，哈利自己就是一個偉大的黑巫師。而他被隔離在巫師界之外的事實似乎（對願意這麼想的人來說）支持這一觀點，德拉科的父親，老謀深算的盧修斯·馬爾福，是這個理論最熱切的支持者之一。想到這個男孩可能成為另一個更偉大的純血擁護者，而他，盧修斯，就可能擁有了第二次統治世界的機會，這使盧修斯無比舒心。

因此，當德拉科在霍格沃茨列車上認出了哈利時，他向哈利伸出了友好的手，他知道他在做的事情他父親一定不會反對，並想著他也許可以帶些有趣的新聞回家。但是哈利對這份友好姿態的拒絕，以及他已經和羅恩——一個與馬爾福家不共戴天的韋斯萊家的成員——形成了堅定友誼的事實，使得馬爾福立刻對他產生了敵意。德拉科正確地意識到，食死徒的野望——哈利·波特是另一個更好的伏地魔——是完全沒有根據的，他們彼此間的敵意更確定了這一點。

在我（J.K.羅琳）確定德拉科姓「馬爾福」之前，我考慮過許多姓氏。在我的好幾份初稿中，他姓Smart, Spinks或者Spungen。他的教名來自一個星座：天龍座。但他的魔杖芯是獨角獸。

Draco Malfoy grew up as an only child at Malfoy Manor, the magnificent mansion in Wiltshire which had been in his family』s possession for many centuries. From the time when he could talk, it was made clear to him that he was triply special: firstly as a wizard, secondly as a pure-blood, and thirdly as a member of the Malfoy family.

Draco was raised in an atmosphere of regret that the Dark Lord had not succeeded in taking command of the wizarding community, although he was prudently reminded that such sentiments ought not to be expressed outside the small circle of the family and their close friends 『or Daddy might get into trouble』. In childhood, Draco associated mainly with the pure-blood children of his father』s ex-Death Eater cronies, and therefore arrived at Hogwarts with a small gang of friends already made, including Theodore Nott and Vincent Crabbe.
Like every other child of Harry Potter』s age, Draco heard stories of the Boy Who Lived through his youth. Many different theories had been in circulation for years as to how Harry survived what should have been a lethal attack, and one of the most persistent was that Harry himself was a great Dark wizard. The fact that he had been removed from the wizarding community seemed (to wishful thinkers) to support this view, and Draco』s father, wily Lucius Malfoy, was one of those who subscribed most eagerly to the theory. It was comforting to think that he, Lucius, might be in for a second chance of world domination, should this Potter boy prove to be another, and greater, pure-blood champion. It was, therefore, in the knowledge that he was doing nothing of which his father would disapprove, and in the hope that he might be able to relay some interesting news home, that Draco Malfoy offered Harry Potter his hand when he realised who he was on the Hogwarts Express. Harry』s refusal of Draco』s friendly overtures, and the fact that he had already formed allegiance to Ron Weasley, whose family is anathema to the Malfoys, turns Malfoy against him at once. Draco realised, correctly, that the wild hopes of the ex-Death Eaters – that Harry Potter was another, and better, Voldemort – are completely unfounded, and their mutual enmity is assured from that point.
Draco had many surnames before I settled on 『Malfoy』. At various times in the earliest drafts he is Smart, Spinks or Spungen. His Christian name comes from a constellation - the dragon - and yet his wand core is of unicorn.
