Elvish names

I love the films an books of Lord of the Rings, and as you can tell if you are also a fan, my name is included in the literature, although it also is a welsh name.
I would like to know if anybody is aware of any other elvish names? I have Elrond and Legolas. I find these names very beautifull yet strong.
Any suggestions are appreciated! thank you!

There are a LOT of elvish names, if you're refering to them being of the Elvish language created by Tolkien and not names that mean 'elf'. I can give you a few from Tolkien...

Aredhel: f 'noble elf'
Morwen: f 'dark lady'
Miriel: f unsure, possibly star-jewel derived from mir-jewel and el-star

I can send you a bunch more if you'd like!

....ALERON IS LATIN FOR (m) "the winged"....EDELMAR IS TEUTONIC (m) "of noble greatness"....ELLA (for a man) is ANGLO-SAXON "ELF"
AS AILIVE,Aelveva IS TEUTONIC for (f) "elf darling"...
hope this adds to your collection

Think, think, what were the names of the kings of Numenor?! Kidding :) Well, there's Elladan, Elrohir, Thranduil, Finduilas, Cirdan, Galadriel, Celeborn, Celebrian, Feanor... I give up! Too many! You can always go to these sites for names and dictionaries:
