It is said in the Silmarillion something to the effect that when Varda was beside her husband Manwë, Manwë could see all that passed in Arda, and Varda could hear all the voices pleading and calling out there.
That is why calling her name is powerful. I think the name Elbereth Gilthoniel means star-kindler of the star-host. Elentári means star-queen.
