The revelation that "R.A.B." was Sirius Black's brother Regulus was correctly guessed by book readers soon after "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" was published, and a good two years before "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". Of all of the surnames that J.K. Rowling came up with for the series, Black is the only one that readily translates into other languages. In foreign language editions of the book, in which this surname was translated, R.A.B. was similarly altered, such that the "B" always matched the first letter of the word for black. For example, Dutch editions translated Sirius Black as Sirius Zwarts, and R.A.B. to R.A.Z. Finnish editions used Sirius Musta and R.A.M.
