Elements
Word Gloss dailir “cleaver”
The name may means *"shadow song". The first element could be Doriathrin dai (cf. Dairon) + lir. Another possibility is "cleaver" - There is a Sindarin verb daila that means "to cleave" and the -ir suffix would create an "agent noun" (such as adding 'r' to 'bite' in English produces 'biter').
