目前只研究到第一題, Le Guin 2004年接受訪問時曾回答過相關問題
Q: Where did the idea of discovering 'true names' as a means to powerful
magic come from? Do you know what fired you to include it in the Earthsea
books as such a central theme?
UKL: It's a very old idea in magic, all over the world.
I read Lady Frazier's
Leaves from the Golden Bough as a kid, and probably met it there. Or almost
anywhere. A writer, an artist whose medium is words, is likely to find the
idea of magic as naming, words as power, a quite natural one.

除了她提的啟蒙書之外,
作者二十幾歲便開始著手翻譯《道德經》了,
所以應該也或多或少從
『名可名,非常名』(The name you can say/isn't the real name.)
得到一些靈感吧!
