Yaxley is the surname of a pure-blood wizarding family, and one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. They are related to the Black family, and more distantly to the Crouch, Weasley, and Longbottom families[2]. It is likely that the Yaxley family originated in Scotland as Yaxley speaks with a strong Scottish accent.
