Elwing's mother Nimloth had, as far as we know, pure Sindarin blood. The line of her father Dior, though, contained other strains; his grandmother Melian had been a Maia, and his father Beren was a mortalMan. Working back to her great-grandparents, Elwing was actually five-eighths Sinda, one quarter Mortal and one eighth Maia.

Elwing's name, 'Star-spray' comes from the starlight glinting on the waterfall of Lanthir Lamath, at her father's house in Ossiriand, on the night she was born.
