c. 18th century While travelling to the United States from
England, his wand came into contact with a Quaffle in his trunk.
Peasegood, who had been intending to recruit a Quidditch team
upon his arrival, was unaware of this occurrence and began
throwing the ball around. Due to the interaction with his wand,
the Quaffle exploded in his face. Peasegood, who had a lively
sense of humour, saw the appeal in an exploding ball, and
immediately began attempting to recreate the effect. Soon,
Quidditch was forgotten as he and his friends developed the game
of Quodpot. The name "Abraham" may be viewed either as meaning
"father of many" in Hebrew or else as a contraction of Abram and
הָמוֹן (hamon) "many, multitude". - Quidditch Through the Ages
