  If you are interesting in the sourses of Volan De Mort originating don't be lazy and go to the library. Find there a book by Michail Bulgakov "Master and Margaret". The main hero of this fantastic book is Voland. I'm not sure about did Rowling read this book or no but all Russians know it more or less.
  I remembered it occasionaly: seven years ago I have written a graduation essay on this subject.
  If you combine three parts of the name as 'Volandemort' you'll see two main: Voland end Mort. A stem -Mor- means 'death' and -Voland-descended not from -Faland- only but from 'Vaal' (Baal)that means: 'Power', 'Mighty'.

  The same thoughts has come to my mind.
  
  P.S. If somebody didn't know: "Volan de Mort" is the translation of the name of You-Know-Who, mentioned in Russian translation (one of translations).

  "Voldemort, Lord - There was a dark wizard in medieval times named Voldermortist. In another language, Voldermortist means "Lord of Evil" or "Dark Lord". Legend has it that Voldermortist once tried to destroy Merlin before the time of King Arthur (Mr. Weasley?), by bewitching good people, and simply bribing those who already were evil. Legend has it that Merlin destroyed Voldermortist by using a simple paralyzing charm (full body bind?), fed him to the many-headed-beast (Fluffy?) of the lake, the Lady of the Lake's pet (Giant Squid?), freed the bewitched people, and destroyed the evil men. That was maybe twelve, thirteen years before Arthur (how long it was from Voldemort's destruction until Harry started Hogwarts). In French means "thief of death" (meaning escaping death)."
