Re: Meaning of Arienwen?
It could be Tolkien's elvish: 'Arien' was the Maia spirit who carried the sun on her back, and 'wen' is Sindarin, meaning 'maiden'. 'Arien' means something along the lines of 'noblewoman'. Still, it's not really elvish-sounding: too many syllables for Sindarin and a generally weird combination. Just a thought.
