Translation or meaning of a name help
Sorry for replying so late. From what I understand the name Elaria has Arabic roots and means Joyful. As for Luna, it is a Latin word for moon.
Thank you for your help on here, I greatly appreciate it.

Translation or meaning of a name help
I understand that in traditional Elvish that Elfs are given, father names, mother names, descriptive or title like names and so on, and as they grow older they are given names that describe their personality or professions. My wife and I are having a baby and we were thinking of possibly (sort of) going by these traditions to name our daughter. However, we have decided on a name already. We want to, as fans and enthusiasts of Tolkien's work and of Elf culture, immerse her in this culture and make it a part of our family traditions. Getting to the point, we would like to find some kind of translation even if meaning based for her first and middle names. Elaria Luna. Sindarin and Quenya translations if possible. I tried pretty thoroughly to do a literal translation but as I understand in either language there isnt really a good way to make it complete. Seeing El as star, Ela as behold, ria as stem or wreath? I've mixed these pieces of the name around a lot and I'm not confident in my basic understanding of the grammatical and phonetic rules to decide on anything. Any help would be appreciated, Thankyou.
