Thank you so much for making this video, I really like the methods you presented! And I love etymology, as well. (: It‘s such a powerful tool to discover hidden meanings and connections in fictional and ”real“ languages alike. And, as you said, it can give insight into the perspective and motives of the people who coined certain words at a certain point in time. Luckily, I was able to find a pretty direct translation of my name (Tim, as a short form of Timothy meaning ”he who honors God“), which is Erutáron (”lofty God“). I really like the sound of it! I‘m guessing the third syllable carries the main stress due the accent, right? Thank you again! ~

Hi, what about "youthful rose"? The Sindarin translations are "gwineb, gwîn, nîth" for youth and then "meril" for rose. May i know how to pronounce them?😭

I might have the coolest weirdest one. my name is danielle which is the feminine version of "man of god." in sindarin: dan o hir -iel. if you get rid of the r in the middle to make it a suffix: Danohiel. its phonetically exactly the same as my English name.

Hador, my name is armand which means soldier, so warrior.. hador. Byr Hador if i use both my names

I spent way too long trying to do this. My name means Sea Chief. In Quenya I think my name would be would be Eärcáno but in Sindarin, I've had some trouble. I think it would be Gaeargon or possibly Aeargon as chief isn't really a direct word in Sindarin. The closest word in Caun, which is used in a similar sense sometimes but the suffix version of it appears to be -gon. If I'm incorrect please let me know.

One little problem with the described Methods is that in Sindarin usually something crazy happens when sticking multiple words together: TakeCelebrimbor as an example. Like the video says it means 'Silver Fist'. Ok, so what then means 'silver' and 'fist'? Perhaps Celebrim + bor? No it's actually _celebrin_ + _paur_. Why isn't it Celebrinpaur then? Because Sindarin has a host of phonetic rules that cover how sounds change in different contexts, in this case soft mutation, nasal assimilation and diphthong reduction in polysyllables are at work. So just sticking words together dose not work.

@@Artreii _Laws and Customs among the Eldar_ (or was it the _Shibboleth,_ I don't remember) disagrees with you on the subject of random names but the problem is a bit more difficult than just that: "Fred" for example is a possible English word, "kltrax" is not an can therefore not serve as a proper name. Likewise Celebrinpaur is not a possible Sindarin word, because _np_ cannot happen and _au_ is only allowed in monosyllabic words, so it's actually not trivial to decide what strings of letters even can serve as a word theoretically regardless of meaning. Unfortunately this problem holds for the majority of names shared in this comment section.
