what do their names mean?

[afro-elf]

'Morinehtar'; 'Darkness-slayer'

that was from Inoldonil

WOW that is a COOL name.

It is Quenya?

was it alatar's(sp) name and what does alatar mean

what are the meanings of the other istari

gandalf= elf of the wand/ mithrandir= grey pilgram

I was on a site last night looking to create my own character's name. I believe the Noldar adopted sinarian names when they came. I think the reason being that it would seem arrogant to use the common speech then be called by foreign name. so I only searched sindarian.


did they only use sindarian names or did they use quenya also

is word order flexible in elvish

ex. 'Morinehtar'; 'Darkness-slayer'

can it also be "slayer of darkness." or if I change it would it be slayer-darkness


Is there a site that list meaning of names and in which language.
