Your name in Elvish - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My name means mistress (female master, not the stealer of husbands

), which translates into Quenya as Heriel and Sindarin as Hiriel. I use Hiriel as my screenname almost everywhere, because I think it sounds better than Heriel, and at times some of my friends even call me Hiriel in real life..

Louis (derived from Lewis) is from some Old Germanic name, Hludowig, I think, which means 'famous + war'--or is it 'fame + warrior'? Enedwaith, I can choose 'ohtar' to represent this, but since I'm a self-styled son of Finrod, and the second element of his name in Quenya, 'aráto', means champion, I decided to use that one instead.

Allen has no known meaning--it is said to have been derived from some pre-Latin tribe, Alanus--but don't trust my memory. I decided, hey, if you change the vowels a bit you'd come up with elen! So I used that, too.

It results in Elenrod, or Elenaráto. Although that is not exactly my name in Elvish, it sounds good to me.

My own name is Rune (in case you did not gues it allready)

In danish i it means "Hemmelig visdom" witch if being translated to english would be : Secret lore

And aperently if you translat it to elvish, then the direct translation would be: Nolwe but since it is a name it proper translation would be Nolvo.

(I liked Nolwe better)

My Sindarin name, which is the only name I have, is Glirdan (as you can tell) which means poet. So I'm also thinking for something along those lines for my personal tittle.
