ArchivesTolkien's dwarves names
I just happened to read the page on Tolkien and the invented names for most of his characters.
You might find it interesting to know (if you didn't already) that many of the names Tolkien used for Dwarves came from a list of names called the "Catalog of Dwarves" from the _Poetic Edda_, a book of Norse/Icelandic mythical and heroic tales. Gandalf's name is in that list, too!
