AltárielThe Quenya form of Galadriels nameThe name 'Galadriel' came not from her father or her mother - they had named her Artanis and Nerwen, respectively. Instead, it came from her husband Celeborn, who gave her a name meaning 'Maiden crowned with a radiant garland.' The origins of this new name are obscure and somewhat confused, but it seems to have originated in the Telerin language as Alatáriel, which translates into Sindarin as the much better-known 'Galadriel'. Altáriel is the Quenya form of the same name. For acknowledgements and references, see the Disclaimer & Bibliography page. Original content © copyright Mark Fisher 2005. All rights reserved.
