Names in Silvan

Adaridh #3792

Hi!

I want to translate a couple of names, and I would really appreciate some help!

I'm mostly interested in the languages of Silvan and as it's not one of the more prominent ones, is it more similar to either Sindarin or Quenya? Because then I might pick one of them instead of Silvan.

Lars

Lars is derived from the Latin name Laurentius, which means "from Laurentum" or "crowned with laurel"

Niklas

Nikólaos is rooted in Greek and means "people of victory" or "champion."

Valter

Walter is a Germanic name meaning "commander of the army."

Axel

From Absalom, Hebrew word meaning “father of peace”

Esterön..? Peace + male suffix?

Adaresteron..? father + peace + male suffix..?

Thank you!

Kind regards,

Axel

Hello TBA!

Unfornuatlly there is not enough information to properly form Silvan names who spoke Nandorin. See here eldamo.org

Sindarin quickly overtook Silvan Elvish in common use. So these names could be rendered into Sindarin.

  • Larz “crown of laurel leaves” Rinor from rîn “crowned”
  • Niklas “people of victory" or "champion” Turwaith “People of Victory” from tûr + gwaith
  • Valter “walt—”power”—and hari—”warrior” Balvaethor “Power Warrior” from bal + maethor
  • Axel “Father of peace” Adaridh “Father of Peace” from adar + îdh
