Manwë

Manwë is intended to mean "Blessed One" in Quenya, from root MAN plus the male ending -wë. However it is said also to be a version of the Valarin name Mānawenūz. Súlimo is an epithet meaning "Breather". His titles include Elder King, High King of Arda, King of Arda, Lord of the Breath of Arda and Lord of the West. His name in Sindarin is Aran Einior, "Elder King" and in Adûnaic Amân. In Eriol's Old English translations, Manwë is referred to as Wolcenfrea "Welkin-ruler". In an early manuscript called "Valar name-list", Manwë has the additional Qenya names Taimo (masculine form of Taime, "the sky") and Valtur ("King of the Valar").

Aman

The Quenya name Aman is glossed as "Blessed Land", or "blessed, free from evil". The etymology of the name Aman changed over time in Tolkien's writings. In early linguistic writings, Aman was intended to be a "native Quenya form", derived from the root MAN ("good"). However, in later writings (such as Quendi and Eldar), the name is said to derive from a Valarin word.
