Etymology
Lima is the capital city of Peru. Its name derives from limaq ("talker" in coastal Quechua), an oracle that was located in the city's area from some point before the 15th century, and was eventually destroyed by the Spanish.

The surname's multiple uses on in the Harry Potter films are a tribute to Eduardo Lima, a graphic artist who worked on every film from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban onward.
