Elessar indeed appears to be translated 'Elfstone' in Appendix F.

One can also note Aragorn's name Edhelharn 'Elfstone' appearing in The King's Letter (Quenya Elessar also appears in the letter).

About 'stone' compare the Etymologies entry: 'Q. sar pl. sardi stone (small)... N. sarn stone as a material.' (N. stands for Noldorin in this earlier text). With respect to Edhelharn initial s (edhel-sarn) has been mutated in this example.
