Turin Turambar #2171

Suilad, Mae Govannen! I was wondering of any of you could help translate a name for me. It should mean "Fire-maiden or "Lady of fire", or something similar. Thanks!

Hi Turin-

My elvish is exceedingly bad so you should probably not take that into account. I only started reading LotR last year in 5th grade and I'm really not good at languages.

By the way this is only for Sindarin.

But I think you could use the ending -ruin (as in Gilruin, I suppose), which means fire. As for the maiden/lady part, you could probably use heruin or heryn. Again I suggest you to wait for others' explanations.

Hi Turin Turambar,

you didn't specify what language you were looking for, Quenya, Sindarin, or maybe Mandarin, but if it's Sindarin (based on your greeting), I propose the simple and sweet Narwen.

Gilruin #2178

Seconding Narwen “Fire-maiden”, for “Fire-lady” I would suggest Nercheril/Nercheryn or Narrodel.

And my name, Gilruin ← gil + ruin, indeed means “fiery red star”

Thanks for the help, everyone! My language was Sindarin.
