女贞

Privet, as in Privet street (女贞路)where Harry Potter lives with the Dursleys. It means a hedge of flowers.
Term
德思礼
Definition
de2si1li3
Dursleys. 德 can mean Germany or kindness/ virtue/ ethics. 思 means to think or consider. I think there is irony in this name. It could be a play on words to mean "considers kindness", which the Dursleys don't. Also, 思 sounds like 死 which means death. So it could means the death of kindness and ethics. 礼 means propriety or etiquette. Very ironic and good name.
