The first thing that came into my head was Haudh-en-Ndengin. Obviously Elvish has some of its roots in Finnish.

("Lehvä" is an old-fashioned word that means leaf and "hapsi" does not actually translate as lock, rather as a tuft of thin hair.)
I assume you mean it doesn't mean anything to do with a lock as in "lock and key" because in English you do get lock as in "lock of hair"

And on the whole I think that the Finnish translation gives it a very Middle-Earth-ish feel.
