Annrían

Annrían

Etymology
The name Annrían means "Queen of Gifts" in Elvish, from anw ("gift") and rían ("queen"). It is a new name given to her some time after the establishment of the Elven community in Celebyrn.

Other names

 * Curuwen - either a birth name or a name given to her by herself or her sister. It means "Skilled Lady" in Elvish (from curu - "skill" and gwend - "lady").

Earlier names
The name Annrían earlier took a form Anwen ("Lady of Gifts"), and the character is a successor to an earlier idea of a Lady of the Grey Elves named Curuwen and earlier Tirwen ("Seeing Lady", unwillingly mixing Elvish with Sun-elvish), who was replaced due to bearing too great resemblance to Galadriel from J.R.R. Tolkien's works.
