Elanor
Elanor is a feminine name derived from the elements 'el' meaning 'sun ray' and 'anor' meaning 'sun' in Sindarin, a fictional language created by J.R.R. Tolkien for his novels set in Middle-earth.
In Tolkien's works, Elanor is the name of a golden flower that grows in the Shire, the homeland of the hobbits. It is also the name of Samwise Gamgee's daughter, who was born at the end of the story and named after the flower.
The name Elanor has gained popularity among fans of Tolkien's writings, as it represents the beauty and resilience of nature, as well as the importance of family and home in the stories.
While the name has a fantasy origin, it has a gentle and melodic sound that lends itself well to use as a given name.
