The name Deathly Hallows refers to the three magical items that were created by Death itself and given to the three brothers in the story about them in 'Tales of Beedle the Bard.' It is said that this tale refers to the Peverell brothers and that Death gave them an Elder Wand, the most powerful wand of all, a Resurrection Stone which could bring back the dead, and an Invisibility Cloak that could allow for one to hide from anything, including Death, under it.
