Mine is quenya for 'warrior'

All of you should know my name anyway,
Elentari = Elbereth's Quenya name (Star Queen)
And I've always loved Elbereth/Varda/Elentari. When I first read LotR I was intrigued and wanted to know who she was, and after the Silmarillion she became a favorite (one of many)

Ohtatyaro- I though the Quenya word "Ohtar" meant "Warrior" (like the mention of Ohtar in LotR) Correct me if I'm wrong

Unless your name was a variation i don't know (I haven't studied too far in Quenya yet

)

Well my name obviously means "The Black Sword" I took it because Túrin is one of my favorite characters and I like the sound of Mormegil. However I wish I had capatilized the "m"

Well, Turin is one of my favourite characters in ME, so I wanted to take one of his many names.

While in Nargothrond, he was called Adanedhel which is Man-Elf, because he had such resembalnce to an elf

Also while he was in Nargothrond, he wouldn't reveal his true name to Finduilas, so she named him Thurin, which is The Secret.
