If Star Trek books counted as literature, what about T'Pau?VIDEO (T'Pau is a character that first appeared in the "Amok Time" episode in ST:TOS, but I'm sure she must have appeared in spin-off books.)

Not sure if this counts- Zooey Deschanel was named after Zooey Glass, from JD Salinger's "Franny and Zooey".
