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.
