Sindarin Feminine Names
Stress is placed on the underlined part of the name. For a helpful guide to
Sindarin pronunciation go to www.mellyn.de.vu/
Some possible Sindarin translations are offered; some translations are just too
complicated or tangled to bother including. Some names cannot be translated due
to lack of vocabulary. Obviously this list is
incomplete; I will add to it when I can.
