Man has always sought to overcome the boundary of conventionality and look into another, for most of us, a fictional world. Some succeeded, but in the future came the desire to combine the fantasy world with the real world. One of the steps on the way to such a goal is the habit of people to give names to everything. The same thing happened with the fantasy world. But who was the first, and why is this phenomenon becoming mainstream?

The Amazing World of Tolkien

Yes, it was this writer who became the reason that many people were able to lift the veil of secrecy and learn a little more about the creatures that, according to Tolkien himself, have inhabited our planet since time immemorial. Undoubtedly, many people knew about elves, trolls and gnomes even before the release of the famous book by JRR Tolkien, because these creatures are clearly or not present in English folklore. But it was Tolkien who gave almost exhaustive information about such a race as elves. In his works, many names are mentioned that the writer awarded these creatures. In addition, they all have a certain meaning in one of the elven languages, which were also developed by the writer. Therefore, almost all female elven names that now exist originate precisely from the works of this brilliant writer.

Name Generator

Although we should not forget the fact that now there are many generators of elvish names, the principle of which is quite simple. They give out parts of the complex names of characters, including female ones, that were inherent in the races in Tolkien's fantasy world. At the same time, there is no pattern or sequence, and therefore invented names can be quite ridiculous. You can use them, probably, only in a parodic sense. Perhaps it's time to figure out why beautiful female elven names are really needed.

Who needs it and why

Probably everyone will agree not only that Tolkien created an amazing world, but also that his idea outgrew its creator many times over. Who are the elves, what are the female elven names, not only those who have read the book know. Moreover, it is much easier for a modern person to describe what this very elf looks like, his manners and behavior, than to explain the essence of many everyday phenomena that surround us in the real, not fictional world.

First of all, this has become possible thanks to modern computer games. By the way, hence the first need to come up with female elven names. They are used as nicknames in these same games.

Many believe that such borrowed names and titles have truly magical properties and will protect their carrier or give him the powers that a literary character possesses. Perhaps not all. The magical skills of the elves are unlikely to be passed on to the child along with the name. However, the masculinity, wisdom and strength of the elves, their readiness for self-sacrifice and the desire to learn can still be counted on.

How New Elvish Names Are Formed

The female names that Tolkien created are singular and individual. But if you want to create something completely new, it is enough to use the elven language dictionary, which the writer also created. In addition, you will need rules according to which new female elvish names can be formed. Their structure differs from men's in its ending.

Thus, in order to come up with a name, it is necessary to add the ending "e" to the Elvish word that suits you in meaning and meaning. For example, to the word "brightest", which in the language of the elves sounds like "ankalim", we add the aforementioned ending and get a new name - Ankalime.

Another ending "yel" in translation from the language of the elves means "daughter". Thus, female elven names can be invented ad infinitum:

• Anariel - Daughter of the sun.
• Tauriel - Daughter of the forest.
• Eleniel - Daughter of the stars.

Another way to form new names is a combination of two consonant words. You again take them from the language of the elves. Such names will characterize their carriers in the best possible way. In a similar way, by the way, the Indians called their children, so you can take advantage of their experience and try to create elven names. Female compound names in this case will sound as follows. Laurindie - Heart of Gold, or Lotanaria - Solar Flower.

Elvish female names. List of popular names according to Tolkien

1. Amarië is a Vanyar elf mentioned in the Song of Leithian. She could not follow her lover to Middle-earth, but he never forgot her and could not marry another. With her lover, she was able to connect only after death.
2. Anaire is an elf who did not want to go into exile with her husband, despite love and common children. She stayed in Valinor with her close friend Earwen.
3. Aredhel is a beautiful elf whose name means light and purity. She received it for having an unusual light skin, which she also tried to emphasize with the help of light clothes.
4. Arwen is the wife of Aragorn, King of Elessar. Translated from Sindarin (one of the Elvish languages), her name means "noble maiden".
5. Galadriel is the lord of Lothlorien, who ruled the country with her husband Celeborn.
6. Idril - literally her name is translated as "sparkling splendor." A beautiful blonde elf from the Vanyar.
7. Iminie is one of the elves who awakened first.
8. Celebrian is the daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn. Her name is translated from Sindarin as "silver queen".
9. Luthien Tinuviel is an elf who fell in love with a mortal. This story has become one of the greatest among the tales of the Ancient of Days.

Instead of concluding...

The language that Tolkien invented contains Elvish female names. Their value must be taken into account when choosing, because it will have an impact on the future fate of a person, regardless of whether we want it or not. As they say, its navigation largely depends on the name of the ship. Therefore, in pursuit of an unusual name, you should not forget about it.

Elves are mythical creatures from Celtic and Scandinavian legends. They are mentioned in the works of Shakespeare, Goethe, Kipling. Large-scale interest in these characters arose after the release of John Tolkien's books. Today, fantasy fans give elvish names to their children, use them as a unique and original nickname.

Rules for compiling an elvish name, according to the works of Tolkien

J. Tolkien was a linguist, a professor at Oxford University, who invented artificial languages ​​for the characters in his books. The writer considered euphony to be the main criterion for creating a dialect. In his stories, all Elvish names are single, filled with deep meaning.

During their lifetime, these fabulous creatures could have up to four names. The first two were given by the parents. My father came up with an option similar to his name. The mother often foresaw the fate of the children. The elf received the name from the parent when he reached the age of one hundred. It carried predictions of the future.

A well-aimed nickname or honorific title was given to an elf by those around him. The fourth name he chose himself. The nickname was awarded for special talents, distinctive features of appearance. Characters encountered in Tolkien's Legendarium:

• Onotimo - "computer", a scientist of the Noldor clan;
• Ambarussa - "red-headed";
• Karnistir - "red-faced";
• Mablung - "heavy hand";
• Miriel Serinde - "precious wife-embroiderer".

The complexity of composing names according to Tolkien is in the existence of several Elvish languages. Quenya is more ancient, Sindarin is modern, Goldgreen and Noldorin are less common. Within each there are dialects.

Therefore, the same name can sound different. For example, Endalotta (Quenya "elven flower") is called Eddelos in Sindarin, and Quendingoldo ("teacher of wisdom") is Pengolod.

Compound variants of names are more common than monosyllabic ones. For example, Galadriel consists of: galad (radiance) and riel (royal maiden). To make the word sound more beautiful, connecting elements are often inserted between syllables, letters are changed. Thus, the name Feanor ("spirit of fire") is a compromise between Faenor in Sindarin and Feanaro in Quenya.

Parents came up with unique elven names for their children, which were not repeated in further history. It's easy to do it yourself.

How to correctly compose an elvish name for a child

The easiest option is to take a beautiful word from the Sindarin or Quenya language, add an ending to it. It is permissible to remove, change or add a vowel. For example, Legolas is formed from laeg (green) and las (leaf), the compound form is corrected for the beauty of sound.

Rules for male names

The endings -ion or -on indicate a relationship or a corresponding quality. For example, Inglorion is the son of Inglor, Anarion is the son of the sun (anar is the sun), Ancalimon is the brightest. The prefix ar in the name means the owner's royal origin: Arathornion is a descendant of King Arathorn.

It is easy to form a beautiful name if you add -ndil or abbreviated -dil (translated as “friend”) to the root of a noun. Get:

• Valandil (friend of all the Valar);
• Earendil (friend of the sea);
• Taurendil (friend of the forest);
• Mardil (friend of the Motherland), etc.

They also use the addition -atan, which means "man" in Quenya. For example: Aratan is a person of royal origin. The second part of the word -tir means "observing": Minastir - "looking from the tower", Palantir from "palan", far - far-sighted.

The endings of male names: -mo or -o, -tan often indicate the owner's occupation. For example, Siriamo ("sailor") is derived from syria, "ship". The addition -ndur is translated as "servant": Isildur is the servant of the Moon, Elendur is the servant of the elves.

Elvish families came up with a "signature" feature for the names of children. For example, the descendants of Fingolfin were called nicknames with the component "kano", which means "commander, chief": Turukano, Findekano, Arakano. Finwe's offspring had similar names with unique prefixes: Nolofinwe ("wise Finwe"), Curufinwe (skillful Finwe), Nelyafinwe ("third Finwe").

To independently create names according to the above scheme, you can use the following words of the Elvish language:

1. Maethor - maetor - warrior
2. Magol - Magol - sword
3. Sador - sador - faithful
4. Dorn - dorn - stubborn strong
5. Hall - hull - worthy
6. Cann - cann - brave
7. Gelir - gelir - joyful, cheerful
8. Bein - bein - beautiful
9. Beleg - beleg - great
10. Neth - nat - young
11. Ech - eh - arrow, spear
12. Hir - hir - lord, lord
13. Mirima - free
14. Aglar - aglar - glory
15. Mor - mor - black
16. Taure, tavar - taure, tavar - forest
17. Saila - sayla - wise

To the root or element of the noun you like, you can add the ending -ve, denoting "personality", "person": Elenwe (from "elen", star), Aranwe (from "aran", king), etc.

Secrets of the formation of female elven names

Eloquent adjectives with the last letter -a can easily be turned into a beautiful name for a girl by replacing the ending with -e. For example:

1. Irime - desirable, beautiful;
2. Ancalime - the brightest;
3. Mirime - free;
4. Arkuene - noble.

Additions to the first word -iel means "daughter". It is not always used to indicate kinship, often acting as a metaphor or translated as "virgin". Meanings of other endings:

Nis, -dis - "woman, wife, bride";

Rien - "shining";

Tar, -tari - intended for queens.

Beautiful elvish words that will help when composing a name:

1. Alf - alpha - swan
2. Alkar - alkar - radiance
3. Aiwe - quince - bird
4. Ninque - ninque - white
5. Tinwe - tinwe - spark
6. Tindome, tindum - tindome, tindum - starry dusk
7. Uruite - uruite - ardent, fiery
8. Kua - kue - dove

In the elven world, once masterfully invented by J. R. R. Tolkien, it is possible to believe and fall in love at first sight. The history of the birth of this world, realistic images of heroes, the diverse gamut of the language of fabulous races - everything is so thought out that it seems as if elves really once existed on earth. They were stunningly beautiful, proud and possessed great knowledge that people would never reach.

In various fantasy epics, you can often find a story in which a person was fascinated and in love with an elf. Beautiful elves bore female elven names, unusual for human hearing. And each name was not just a set of sounds. At one time, Tolkien came up with the Elvish language: its spelling, sound and rules of use. It should be noted that this language is not one, it is divided into many dialects: Sindarin, Quenya, Common Eldar, Black and others. Many fans of Tolkien's work seriously study the Elvish language, since most of the names of the elves consist of various parts of the Elvish words.

Elvish female names ending in "-e"

The rules for naming are very simple. Elvish female names are compiled according to the algorithm: elvish word (adjective or noun) + suffix + ending. So, the female name should end with “-e”, while the male name ends with “-on”. For example, the female name Ancalime, which means "The Brightest" or the name Mirime, means "Free": Mirim + e. And others Irime (beautiful), Laurindie (golden heart), Eldalote (elven flower), Ainulindale (Ainur music), etc.

Elvish names ending in "-iel"

Female elvish names are not limited to only one ending. There are a huge number of suffixes and endings that can be added to an Elvish word. The ending “-iel”, which means daughter, is very common among the majestic people. For example, female elven names ending in "-iel": Eariel (daughter of the sea), Isiliel (daughter of the moon), Tinuviel (daughter of twilight), Lairiel (daughter of summer) and so on.

Among other things, female elven names can be formed from one or more words without suffixes and endings, for example: Arwen (Ar + ven - a noble maiden), Idril (sparkling shine), Luthien (enchantress), Nimlot (white flower), Earwen (sea maiden) and others.

When choosing a name, remember that in the history of the elves the same name was never given twice. There is only one Arwen, only one Tinuviel, only one Lúthien. Each name is unique and one of a kind. If you do not have enough imagination to come up with your own elven name, then special programs - name generators will help you.

Runes

Elvish runes served as the main type of writing among the elves. With their help, accumulated knowledge, history and songs were recorded, spells were created, etc. A transcription is provided for elven runes for language learners, which will help you pronounce words correctly.

The most common language is the Sindarin dialect, and therefore Elvish runes of this dialect can be found everywhere. If you remember, in the film "The Lord of the Rings" the image of the inscription on the ring is given in black, which takes its roots from Elvish, but was used by the forces of evil (Sauron and other creatures of Mordor).

Runes not only denote a certain sound, but are also magical symbols like. Therefore, their meaning is also mystical in nature. We must thank Tolkien for the diversity of the Elvish world, since it is he who is the founder of many Elvish (and not only) dialects.

Originally born in the water, to live in the depths of the world's oceans, elves have changed a lot under the influence of a new environment. By the will of their god Haurvatat, they emerged from the waters to subdue the land. In the course of their development, they have changed greatly from their original form thanks to the help of Amerat and the sidhe. The ancestors of modern elves still live in the depths of the sea and are known as newts or ocean elves. Modern land elves have several varieties, but let's leave the details for now, focusing on the common features that unite the entire elven race.

Physiology

The corporeal shell of the elves outwardly resembles a human, but this is only an external resemblance. Elves have a more flexible bone structure, which is characteristic of human children. Due to this bone structure, elves are less prone to bone injuries and fractures, this makes their bodies flexible and plastic. The main negative effect of such a structure of the skeleton is the inability to critical loads. This doesn't make them weaker or less resilient, it's just that their bodies are incapable of the "miracles" of lifting and holding weights.

The next features of elves are their breathing and metabolism. In one breath, they can renew up to 80% of the oxygen in their lungs, the reserves of one breath last for up to ten minutes. Unlike humans, elves control their heart and can increase or decrease its rhythm at will. In a calm state, the rhythm of the elven heart is 100 beats per minute. With a decrease in heart rate, oxygen consumption drops, metabolism slows down. Accordingly, with an increase in heart rate, metabolism and oxygen consumption increase. If the metabolism is reduced to 0, the elf does not die, but falls into a coma. In the case of favorable external conditions (cold climate, safe place), he can stay in this state indefinitely. Thanks to this apparatus, elves are well adapted to cold climates and are immune to colds. It is worth noting that elves have a well-developed heart, in the absence of physical damage, they never suffer from cardiovascular diseases until old age.

Elves are the first creatures to have what is called cold or "lunar" vision, which allows them to see by the light of the moon and stars as well as other races see by the light of the sun. Daytime vision among elves is developed much worse and is similar to night vision of other races. You can read more about these features of light perception in the corresponding article.

Like most other creatures, elves need sleep. By controlling their metabolism, elves can regulate how long they sleep. Most elves slow their heart rate down to 10 beats, allowing the body to rest faster and improve the quality of sleep. An outside observer may decide that the elf is dead, since in this state he practically does not breathe. It is very difficult to wake up from such a dream, the awakened elf will be lethargic and inactive until he restores his heart rate. If necessary, elves are capable of normal or light sleep, during which more time is required to restore the body. It is worth remembering that when the metabolism slows down, the recovery from wounds and diseases slows down, so it is not recommended for the sick and injured to slow down the metabolism. Elvish longevity is the result of a harmonious combination of a developed body restoration system and a high vitality.

In the course of their life, elves consume a lot of liquid and little fiber. Compared to a human, an elf needs half as much protein and carbohydrate food, but the need for fluid increases proportionately (see elven metabolism). Elves do not digest solid food well, it can be digested for up to several days and cause indigestion. The best foods are: cereals, soups, stews, soft fruits and vegetables, mushrooms, blood, wine, milk, etc. Meat is better digested boiled or raw, fried meat is contraindicated.

As for the system of reproduction and maturation, it is close to the human one. All elf nations mix easily and can produce viable non-sterile offspring. The child receives the main signs of the mother, the influence of the father is less significant and is expressed in appearance, and not in physiology. The gestation period for elves depends on nationality and ranges from 10 to 26 months, repeated births are possible after the body is completely restored, which takes about ten times longer than bearing a child. In most cases, one child is born, twins are very rare, but also happen. A newborn elf differs little from a human child, the periods of body growth, puberty, social adaptation and aging depend on a particular nation. Unlike humans, elves begin to experience the negative effects of aging only towards advanced age. Aging is expressed in heart defects and weakening of vitality. During this life span, elves are prone to deep melancholy and cease physical activity almost completely. Death itself comes from cardiac arrest. During the next slowdown in the heart rate, the elf falls asleep and does not wake up again.

Appearance

All land elves hail from northern Amroth. Despite the fact that in the process of their settlement they acquired their own national characteristics in appearance, the Amrot type is fundamental. The growth of elves ranges from 1.7 to 2.2 meters, while women (on average) are half a head shorter than men. Elves do not tend to be corpulent, as food requirements are quite modest for their size and there is no need for large fat reserves. Because of their skeletal structure, even the strongest elves have less broad shoulders than humans of similar height and strength, and tend to be wiry and lean. Elves are known for their slender and well-proportioned bodies, women have relatively small breasts, as their newborns develop more slowly and are less demanding on nutrition than human children. The structure of the skull differs little from the human one, the main difference is the narrower bones of the jaw and cheekbones, the external auditory canal is wider and continues up the temporal bone. As for the face itself, due to the small amount of subcutaneous fat, its features seem sharp and sharp, some consider elves "bony". The elves have an original structure of the ears, in length they go beyond the temporal bone and reach the bone of the crown, tapering to a pointed leaf-like shape. From the point of view of the perception of sounds, due to the large number of receptors and nerve endings, this structure of the ears is more perfect than the human one. A typical elven eye color is blue, less often turquoise. Initially, the elves just did not have hair, having perfectly smooth skin. Hair on the head appeared already after the intervention of Amerat and the sidhe, as a by-product of their "transformation" into land creatures. Typical hair colors have become: shades of chestnut, black and shades of red. Old elves have white, gray and other light shades.

Aldar

The first Aldars were the elves, who decided to get rid of the dependence of all the elves on large sources of water and chose the patronage of Amerat along with Khairvatat. They began to revere Amerat, even above their father Khaurvatat, and received a special blessing from her, giving them good health, longevity and fertility. Abandoning the civilization of the elven port cities, they replaced it with the simple pleasures that nature bestows. Later, elves, tired of endless civil and world wars, began to replenish the ranks of the Aldar. They hid in the forests, forming small communities leading an isolated lifestyle. Many young Aldar, weighed down by the slowness and regularity of their existence, leave to serve elven lords, but usually return to their native settlements if they live to adulthood. The Aldar have permanent and mobile settlements in the forest regions of Amroth and Lyrkon. They can also be found serving in the security forces of most surface elven states, but most amroth are uncomfortable on the surface.

Alvery

Ambassador of Alvers

The Alvers are a nation formed as a result of the mixing of the indigenous Amroth population of the island of Alveron with refugees from the repressions of Lot (the old Amroth aristocracy of the Sidhe and their descendants). As a result of this mixing, today, almost every Alver has the blood of one of the seven original sidhe. Their permanent monarch - Alver, did a lot for the development of his country, turning it into a pearl of elven civilization. Some of his reforms were revolutionary and made it possible to make a qualitative leap in the development of science, culture and magic. Thanks to his efforts, the Alveri are the most educated and culturally developed nation in the entire Cosmos. The Alvers are reluctant to leave Alveron, outside of it live mainly invited experts and those objectionable to Alver.

Arana

Aran prince

Initially convicts, the Arans underwent an amazing metamorphosis in the process of their formation as a nation. For centuries, arans have been waging a merciless war with dragons, trying to expand their habitat. Due to the constant epidemics caused by the bioweapons of the green dragons, the arans were subjected to a kind of natural selection, which ensured the survival of the elves with the strongest immunity. The constant fight against epidemics forced the arans to develop medicine to such a level that it works miracles comparable to magic.

Names

The arans use a combination of a personal name and the name of their house, typical of elves.

Xyltars

xyltarca

Underdark elves who live in the southwest of the Underdark in tunnels created by the goddess Xylrae. The Xyltar are notorious for their cunning, with their entire culture built on an art of intrigue. Like the arans, the xyltars have made great strides in the field of alchemy, but they are primarily interested in poisons and drugs, which are among their main exports.

The Xyltars do not have a single ruler, but there is a so-called. House Rating. To understand what status this or that aristocratic House currently has, only the Xyltars themselves can. The seeming chaos of Xiltar society is a delicate web of pacts, alliances, traditions, intrigues, and betrayals. Power is shared between the great and small Houses, as well as the temples of Xylrae and her children. Trading houses, houses of mercenaries, schools of magicians and warriors have some influence.

Xyltar society is dominated by matriarchal ways, with the more favored Xylrae priestesses and matriarchs ruling over the aristocratic elf houses. Despite the dominant role of women, male xyltars, contrary to rumors, are not second-class creatures and traditionally hold positions in "state" organizations: the House of Shadows (the head of intelligence is considered the high priest of Gelas), the Magic Academy (the head is appointed by the high priestess of Xylrae) . A characteristic feature of all Xyltars is a penchant for intrigue, often turning into outright treachery.

Names

The Xyltars use a combination of a personal name and the name of their house, typical of elves.
