I have an interesting site here, which doesn't make sense of course LOL
But it's fun to try it out sometime.
My hobbit name would be Berilac Grubb of Little Delving.
And my elvish name: Amras Ar-Feiniel.
 
Unfortunately, I can't find anywhere what Fehebor means. I did think of a surname and it was a complete word! My ME name is Fehebor Kano and Kano appeared to mean 'commander'.
-bor means 'endure' so now only to find out what 'Fehe-' could possibly be.

I could say -ehe-  comes from -edhel- which means 'elf'. A bit far looking perhaps, but that's all I could find....

I'm proud to say my name means The Steadfast Elf. (Who is a commanderWink)

ibotony, the deleted posts are probably part of why your point total isn't increasing--but for a post to count for points it also has to be at least 200 characters, so maybe that's part of it too. (And just to be clear, we generally like 200 characters of substance, not fluff just to get points ). The best way to earn points is to join in on discussions here on the Plaza--any Lore forum as well as Kingdom threads grant points. If you have other questions just ask

sorry for the double post... but i had another question

i was looking for the name "Paloma"  in quenya, 

Paloma is the Spanish meaning for Dove, but actually Dove is referred to the animal, so I don't really know if Paloma, as a name, is "Cucua" (as it appears in the english-quenya dictionary) for Dove... 
if someone can help me out with this one, i would be really grateful!

thanks a lot!

My name Yerathiel is the Elvish translation of the name Leah, meaning "weary". My first name (not the name I go by) is Sarah, which is my mom's name. I really dislike it because I know 12 Sarahs and people get my mom and I confused (it's a beautiful name, don't get me wrong... it's just not for me). Her Middle name is Leigh, so when I turn 18 I'm planning on changing my first name in honor of her to Leah (Leigh+Sarah), making my name Leah Grace. She approves of the name as well, she had actually wanted to name me that. :) Also, I've been going through a very hard time in my life, and "weary" is an apt discription of how I feel sometimes.

My name is quite simple really,yet wholly canon to M-e  : Mal - ' gold ' and - coron - ' mound ' both in Quenya.The surname of Minrimmon denotes where his wealthy dairy farming family first found their fortune,Min-Rimmon : The Fifth of the Beacon-hills of Gondor at the foot of the White Mountains in Anorian.Thus the entire name translates : A gold mound 'neath the peak of a group of cragsLOL

Nice! Since I'm about to switch back to Tyrhael now that the gig is up, I figure I'd explain that yrith is an Early Noldorin (PE13:156) word meaning "care-free." I just had to put out a semi-advert for one of my favorite of Tolkien's invented languages (I like the different flavors of Noldorin over their external evolution, and can't wait for the grammar of the 1930s Noldorin [as in Etymologies] to come out! I'm not quite sure what exactly is in PE18, but I think it focuses more on roots and word-building, not a Noldorin historical grammar with phonology and pronominal suffixes and conjugations and all those goodies ... Dead It'll still be very nice to see what's in PE18 though!)

Likewise, Aelindis! Glad to see you are still around. I take it you mean you've bought PE18 already?

Fëanor II, I don't mean to sound patronizing, but I know of no word — the breakup is actually fëa and the element -nor, with it being a name consisting of mixed Quenya and Sindarin. The original Quenya was Fëanáro with fëa for "spirit" (roughly) and nár for "fire" (cognate Sindarin naur, found as -nor here) — if I recall, the -o is either a masculine ending or a genitive to mark "of fire," but I can't remember which. Tolkien gives the etymology as phaya-nāro on p. 39 of Parma Eldalamberon 17, but one should note that The Shibboleth of Fëanor in HoME12 states "Fëanor is the form nearly always used in histories and legends, but is at it stands only half Sindarized: the genuine Sindarin form is Faenor; the form Fëanor [...] probably arose through scribal confusion, especially in documents written in Quenya, in which ea was frequent but ae did not normally occur." The word anor is actually "Sun" in Sindarin. Wink

Most "translators" just randomly select names or elements of names and put them together.  I don't recall ever seeing a reliable automated one, though I haven't really sought out any.  If you really want to know your "Elvish name", find out the meaning of your RL name and then translate that  by hand or by asking for help here.

her = sfx of Heru "lord"

Lambiher = "Tongues-lord" using the quenya penchant for reversal, translates to "Lord of Tongues" or "Lord of Languages"

There is technically already a word for this..."Lambengolmo" which means "Loremaster of Language"...but it was taken, lol.
