View Full Version : Your Quenya name!
Faerus Stoneslammer Fri, 16th Apr '04, 4:41am Here's (http://www.elvish.org/elm/names.html) an interesting little website. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page and pick the letter that corresponds with the first letter of your (first) name.
Feel free to post with your Quenya names.
Sadly, my name's just too plain unusual to be there :( , so I have to find out what it means and then translate into Quenya...one day...
EDIT: And that day is come!! :spin: :rolling: :roll:
My name, *deleted*, is an alternate spelling of the Finnish name Jouko. Now, according to this website (http://www.behindthename.com/nm/j3.html), Jouko is the Finnish form of the name Jacob. Referring back to the Quenya name site, the Quenya name for Jacob is Encaitar.

Rednik Fri, 16th Apr '04, 4:59am Ha!
I guess I'm Úmátimon!
Vengeance Incarnate Fri, 16th Apr '04, 5:58am I didn't like my Quenya name much.
Ryan------->Aranince
Lady Luthien Fri, 16th Apr '04, 8:23am Masha, russian diminutive form of Maria...
Apparently bitterness :( , so Sárie ---> Sárince or Sárelle.
Humph, nothing beats Lady Luthien :D
Xei Win Toh Fri, 16th Apr '04, 10:50am I'm Oitur or Ertur. Too short for me. I want at least three syllables in my elf names!
EDIT: with my middle names, I can be Nostarion or Calimbandil too. Much better!
8people Fri, 16th Apr '04, 11:05am I'm Mirime... strange.
my middle names are Calle Sáre Eruntale
strange
Takara Fri, 16th Apr '04, 11:25am I quite like mine: marcarnildo. Got a nice ring to it. :)
BigStick Fri, 16th Apr '04, 2:23pm My first name was not listed, but if I've interpreted their translation scheme correctly, it would be Alcaro or Alcaron.
My middle name did show up and was translated to Alco or Alcon.
So I guess my Quenya name would be either Alcaro Alcon or Alcaron Alco. :D
I find the alliteration interesting, considering that my real name is Rodney Ray.
Sir Belisarius Fri, 16th Apr '04, 6:07pm My Quenya name is Poldon
Serpent Fri, 16th Apr '04, 6:33pm Hmmmm...
Jürgen ---> Kememmótar or Kemmótar
intresting... sounds kinda nice but i still like my real name better. :p
Gehn Fri, 16th Apr '04, 8:24pm Hmm, i think i like my Quenya name better!
Peter = Sardo or Ondo
Simple, but i like it :)
Man i wish i was an Elve....
Spellbound Fri, 16th Apr '04, 8:39pm hmmm... Niere or Nione. I kind of like it. ;)
Dendri Fri, 16th Apr '04, 9:00pm I feel debased.
My name isnt part of that list... and its common enough. :cry:
But a quite similar name would be Mirimon or Leron in Quenya. Which sounds nice, so I am appeased.
Faragon Fri, 16th Apr '04, 9:59pm My name is Wout, which comes from Wouter, which comes from Walter, so:
WALTER: Frankish Waldheri means something like "army-commander" (waldan "to rule", heri or hari "army, host"). Rimbe is the Quenya word for "host" - stem RIM. For "ruler, commander" we could use tur again, but cáno, cánu "ruler, governor, chieftain" is even better (UT:400). Thus Walter = Rimbecáno.
Register Sat, 17th Apr '04, 12:09am EMIL (m.) - from Latin 'rival'; cotumo "enemy", hence Cotumo itself
Nocturnal Nomad Sat, 17th Apr '04, 11:37am NEIL, NEAL (m.) - perhaps Gaelic 'champion' or 'cloud'; aráto "champion, eminent man", lumbo "cloud", so Aráto or Lumbo as such
Champion/eminent man is cool, but cloud?
So Aráto it is.
Shell Sat, 17th Apr '04, 12:07pm MICHELLE (f.) - feminine form of MICHAEL (q.v.), thus Manveri
LOUISE (f.) - a fem. form of LOUIS (q.v.), thus Alcarohtare
Also:
JACK (m.) - a pet form of JOHN or JACOB (q.v.), thus Eruantalon or Eruntalon (for a difference could be used Eruantalo or Eruntalo), or Encaitar
Master of Nuhn Sun, 18th Apr '04, 12:33pm Thijs from Matthijs from Mattias.
MATTHEW (m.) - Heb. 'gift of God'; Eru "God"; anna "gift", thus:
Eruanno or Erunno.
Lazy Bonzo Sun, 18th Apr '04, 2:43pm My name wasn't there, not even with the help of behindthename.com.
Ofelix Sun, 18th Apr '04, 6:37pm @MoN I happen to have the same name, Eek Eruanno it is such an ugly name...
Wiegraf Folles Sun, 18th Apr '04, 10:45pm mine is Poldon
EDIT: 50 posts, now i have the stupid lynx eye gem
Bion Mon, 19th Apr '04, 8:12pm "Úrambo" (perhaps shortened to "Rambo"??)
Sniper Mon, 19th Apr '04, 8:18pm Right ... on both sites couldn't find my real name so I used my abbreviated (and more commonly used) name - Taf.
That wasn't in there, so I tried Taffy which was and is the closest to my name.
Taffy apparantly is the loving name given to people called David ... silly website!
CHecked it out on the Quenya website and it appears that David also means Lavir in Quenya
Lavir ... that sounds a bit girlie no for a man's name?
reepnorp Tue, 20th Apr '04, 1:10pm I. Am. IRONMAN!
:hahaerr:
Actually my name translates into Maneséro.
Malovae Tue, 20th Apr '04, 2:32pm I hate mine. Erucolindo. I sound like a dodgy cheap magician :eek:
Hmmm, the name Tyler is suspiciously Telutan. Some form of primitive adimin?
Dave the Magic Turtle Tue, 20th Apr '04, 4:40pm Eruesso or Erulasto
Sounds kinda cool...now if I could only pronounce it! :p
The Kilted Crusader Tue, 20th Apr '04, 8:20pm Lavir Eruánion (David Jonathan) I like it! :D
Jaguar Tue, 20th Apr '04, 9:23pm Call me Úrambo.
Aldazar Wed, 21st Apr '04, 5:10am Mine said:
Meldon, see NWHAGEN; some David adopted and adapted his name to Eldarin languages, so Lavir in Quenya and Dewidh in Sindarin
The Kilted Crusader Wed, 21st Apr '04, 5:09pm heh, i have the same name as aldazar, almost interesting... ;) :p
