Your Elvish name
 

So I was looking for a name for my baby dragon on FR and came upon this site and found my name (the usual spelling, not the spelling of my name)

So if you want, feel free to share your elvish name =3
I thought it might be fun XD

My elvish name would be Eruraina (Air-oo-rye-nah)

Wow they had my name (Kind of ) actually under the girl section!

Teithagliriel (lit. "poem writer")
(Tay-thah-gleer-ee-ell)

Ithilethiel (it's hard to get used to pronouncing it ><!) meaning "moon maiden"

Moderator Note: Take a heads up that if this is just a forum game of "look at this list and find your name" then it needs to get moved over to the Forum Games section.

I'm all for it being right here where it is if there's discussion that goes along with it, so... discuss! :D

I honestly would not be sure if this would be a game or not =O I thought it would be similar to Illusions personality test XD

On a side note about names, I really don't like the original meaning of mine is "god is gracious"

Edit: Now that I'm fully awake and functioning I completely see what you meant coda XD

A lot of names are like that thanks to the religious focus in most cultures. Gaelic, Sanskrit, and Native languages are the exceptions

My birth name would be Caunion in Elvish. Ruler. I measure things.
As for the name I may choose in the future...Eruwaedhiel.

Edit: Funny thing - my name was sort of meant as "the closest we could get to Wulfric/Ulric without being weird"

If I was a guy my name wouldn't be very different either, Erurainion
so just the end part got changed.

Following the list, my given name in Elvish is the same as my name in Spanish, and I find that mildly disappointing. ^^()

I can't find anything that relates at all to my chosen name. Nothing about music, nothing about endings or finishes, nothing about tails (the literal meaning of "Coda" in the original Italian).

I dunno, I think there's an argument to be made that "Awen" could be adapted to "Teithagliriel" ("poem writer") or "Vanglirtána" ("the beauty shown in poetry") or maybe "Feanathiel" ("spiritual one"); it's not THAT far off. And "moon" at least gives "Ithilwen". (And if you want to diverge from the list... well, my Quenya is EXCEEDINGLY rusty, but I THINK "Caladithil" means "light of the moon".)

In the girls' names list, I do find that "Methenniel" would be a reasonable translation of "Coda" so "Methennion" would be a reasonable masculinization of the name based on the rules of Quenya.

By the way, here's a way better list: http://www.elvish.org/elm/names.html -- It's a lot harder to search, but it's WAY bigger.

EDIT: Actually, digging through a dictionary, "Sulé" is probably a better translation of "Awen" -- both words derive from a root referring to air but picked up the meaning of "spirit" through metaphor. And Sulé is a perfectly serviceable feminine name in its own right.

I know what "Awen" means (and it's really more accurate to say it means "poetic inspiration" or anthropomorphically "spirit of inspiration" -- which is where "muse" comes in); that's why I was able to give you some meaningful options. ^^() I also looked up its etymology and it's derived from an ancient root meaning "to blow" and is related to words meaning "breath" and "breeze" and "spirit".

Heck, "inspire" and "spirit" even have that connection in English -- the "-spir-" in both words is the same as in "respiration." So to "inspire" someone is to fill them with breath.

It occurs to me that "expire" actually has the same root, too; when someone expires, their breath has left them.

Ha! I don't have one.

My name doesn't exist, male or female version.

What does your name mean? Maybe one of us can help you find something equivalent. That's what I had to do for "Coda" -- obviously it's not on the list anywhere but I found a name meaning "end" and that's certainly what a coda is in music.

Well I just found out my daughter's name would be Saerwen Tirananniel. And mine is Yáviel Manwathiel. Oh, and our family name would be Baramaethor. That's a bit like Baratheon, maybe we should try for the Iron Throne!

Mine is Erurainon because apparently Sean is simply the Irish variant of the name John. I had no idea!

Gaius isn't on the list and I couldn't find anything like it, but it means "to rejoice" and Joy is Alassiel, so I suppose it would be something like Alasson?

My full name is not on the list so I looked up the name everyone actually calls me

Caladhiel
(Kah-lah-thee-ell)

it means light! I feel like that is really sweet <3

also my oc's name is caldazar and it sounds similar!

Glitch, your sig is weirdly hypnotic.

Yes, Sakamoto-kun is 100% hypnotic and amazing <3

Eh, I was just going by my actual name...which doesn't really have any kind of meaning XD

Except short for a boy's name pretty much >-<

Well, what does the boy's name mean?

The boy's version is Robert. (Well, the non-shortened version)

"Robert" means "fame" (rob) + "bright" (bert). Etymologically it could also be related to "glory."

"Roberta" is on the list as "Calminaiel." I'm a little dubious of the derivation, but it works if you're not trying to push your way into a die-hard Tolkien convention. (It says it means "bright distinction" but the structure of the word sounds more like "distinctive light".)

The other site lists "Alcarcalime" as the translation of "Roberta", breaking it down into "alcar" glory/brilliance and "calima" light and then inflecting it as a feminine name.

I'd go for "Alcare" if your name is derived from the "rob" part of "Robert". If it's derived from the "bert" part, there's a whole bunch of possible choices you could go for -- stuff derived from "light" (Calie, Calme, Calde, Calien, Calmea, Caldea) or "bright" (Calima, Calime, Calimie) would all be appropriate.

If you like the "glory" way of going about it, "Gloria" is "Aglariel" on one list and "Alcare" (pronounced "al-CAH-ray" if I'm not mistaken) on the other.

Well my biological name is Chiret pronounced sure-et. In Hebrew it means graceful charity. But I still can't find anything.

That's a little surprising given that "Charity" is a not-uncommon girls' name. But hitting up a dictionary, "Faile" or "Failie" would be the best feminine name I can find; it means "generosity".

EDIT: On the other hand, "Grace" is easily found as "Eruanna." If it matters to you, "eru" is similar to Hebrew "el" (both meaning "God"). I'm not 100% sure of a euphonic way to combine the two names, though... "Faileanna" perhaps would capture the full meaning of your name?

EDIT 2: Cross-checked another dictionary. "Eruanna" breaks down to "gift of God" so "Faileanna" would mean "gift of generosity" or possibly "generous gift" which is a pretty name in its own right but it rather significantly changes the meaning. "Manáfaile" or "Failalissë" are other options, meaning "generous grace (in the sense of a blessing)" and "sweetness (in the way that grace is sweet) of generosity" although I'm not 100% sure the latter is correctly inflected for a feminine name.

Less Bert more Rob XD

How does Elvish do a diminutive form? Is there information on this? XD (You know, like Bill instead of William XD)

Thanks for the answer :3

*looks it up* Diminutives are -lle for feminine and -llo for masculine. So maybe "Alcarelle"? That's four syllables, by the way, "al-CAH-re-lle" if I'm not mistaken.

Huh, that's interesting. The Elven forms of my given and chosen names (well, the closest one to it) are similar -- Váne(varyar), Váne being "beauty" or actually, "grace", and Varyar meaning "protector".

Ah... to be crowned with plant. ._. I AM AN EARTH BENDER!

Galasriniel (lit. "crowned with plant")
(Gahl-ahs-ree-nee-ell)

Nimthîriel (White-faced)
Nim-theer-ee-ell

Hmm... not sure how I feel about being named "White-faced", but it certainly fits my skin color.

Under the Sindarin naming system, I'd actually be Kiel, Normiel or Esthiel (My mom's name is Kim, her mother was Norma, and my paternal grandmother was Esther). Since I was closer to my paternal grandmother, I'd opt for Esthiel, and I do go by that on a Sindarin forum.

According to the site though, I'd be Rhavaniel (Rah-VAH-nee-ell)...

Mae /ˈmaɛ/ or Mussë /ˈmus.sɛ/
Mickey's name in Swedish is Musse. xD

Rië... such a short name.

Mine is Suiauthon (soo-ee-ow-thon). Means "war-like." I was hoping for something a bit more elegant, but it suits me.

Welp...my name is spelled the same as I spell it. Soo..yeah.
