    Etymology[]

    Erik Weisz was Harry's birth name. He named himself "Houdini" sometimes after reading the autobiography of deceased magician Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin in 1890 when he was 16 years old.

    Since "Harry" was a child when the Riddles and Brad met him ("Wisconsin in 1881", he would have been approximately sju years old), he would not have read Jean's biography yet.
