Our names in Elvish

Hello there, Faelon(Justin), I personally love the languages and there are at least a dozen languages. I love the fact I have awesome Elvish names.

=>.<= Well phooey. It doesn't have my name. It wants to ADD more letters to make it someone else's name not mine. :P
You guys with "regular plain old names" get all the fun. LOL
(i.e. Am not a 'kimberly'; never was never will be)

My name Lucinda...is 'Lucia' or Light. :)"
I got different responses for different connotations of my name...but I went with Lucy, under the girl's names link...Love your name and mine is just Lucy then Courtney is my middle name but I'm so excited about my Elvish name....makes me happy :)

I think the meaning of your name has something to do with God!

It would be fun to use it's name translator - I know my name is a Gaelic form of Mary and usually just look Mary up - and there are three other names where it says 'See Mary' - but, sadly, 'Mary' isn't actually listed...!
However I know Mary means 'bitter' - so have gone to Elffetish instead and Pixellated Fëanor tells me that in Quenya I would be Sárien and, in Sindarin, Saereth.
I rather like those!

But anyway, with MY name...the Elvish "translations" are not accurate. If I recall, the Arwen Undomiel site has a disclaimer specifying that some things may be inaccurate.
Mine would be Erannë, which means "gift of God" (actually it should be Eruannë, but I find it easier to read it without that "u")

Sindar: Lavassir
Qenya: Lamassir
Girl's Names: Barvarnilairiel (brown animal meadow).
I'll go with this one. Maybe I'll have my name legally changed to Barvarnilaireil, just for laughs.

Although the web page is set up for English names, it also gives the meaning of the English name. Perhaps you could search for the meaning closest to Fatini and see if you can get an Elvish name that way :-)

This site gives the option for a more personalized Elvish name, and can be helpful if you can't find a good translation for your own name. The name I chose is Aerelien, which I like a lot and is related to my real name (but not from its direct meaning). :)

Behindthename.com is one of the best sites for name meanings, and there are also others.


For example my name is Andreea, my name apparently it means "human female" and "courageous". One of my names in Elvish is Huoriel, and it means courageous. My name in Sindarin is Firieth and in Quenya it is Firyë they both mean "human female".
