Comments for the name Tinuviel

Tinúviel is pronounced (tihn-OOH-vee-ehl). I think this is a very lovely name, especially if you know its background. The love between Lúthien and Beren is simply beautiful.

The character of Luthien Tinuviel was based upon J.R.R. Tolkien's wife, Edith. The character of Beren was based on himself. The names "Luthien" and "Beren" are carved on their headstones as well.

Tinuviel is the "Lore Name" of Luthien Tinuviel, the elf who helped her lover steal the Silmarils.
