I love your Quenya name-translation project - have had so much fun reading through it :) can you do my name too please (Vanessa)? also i really like your blog!!!

Hiii Vanessa, thanks so much for your lovely words and your request! 💕💕🌸

Omg I think your name’s etymology is the most interesting I’ve encountered so far 😍 From Behind the Name:  

“Invented by author Jonathan Swift for his poem Cadenus and Vanessa (1726). He arrived at it by rearranging the initial syllables of the first name and surname of Esther Vanhomrigh, his close friend. Vanessa was later used as the name of a genus of butterfly.”

Based on that explanation, it’s obviously impossible to translate the name as such, so I simply decided to go with the meaning of Esther (possibly star) and butterfly ✨ 

Elenë star Elenwen “star-maiden” Elenissë “star-woman” Wilwarinë butterfly (love that one dsgfhsj 😭)
