Character Naming

As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.

Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.

Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

Elowen / Elowyn

Meaning: (Elm, Elm Tree)

Origin: (Cornish)

Pronunciation: (ELL-uh-wen, ehL-OWWaaN or EHL-owWehN)

Gender: Female


This was the name I was looking at the other day when I saw Arwen which I wrote about, it's below this one on the post list. This name Elowen / Elowyn reminded me of a Lord of the Rings kind of name thought it isn't in the novels. It's a beautiful name, lovely meaning, easily pronounced. I love this name in every way.

    I may be young and not a mother yet, but I look forward to the day that I WILL be a mother, and I know in my heart that I will named a daughter of mine Elowyn. It came up in the newspaper a few days ago and I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. I had never heard of it before. I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan, so I thought: This is perfect! I can have a Lord-of-the-Ring-ish sounding name for my girl without it being directly from LOTR. Thank you for finding it too and posting the meaning! It's such a rare name that I couldn't find it on any websites except this one.

    P.S. I will also for sure be naming a character in one of my novels Elowyn ;) Without further ado.

I try to have the most accurate Meanings, Origin and Pronunciations for the names on this blog. It is best though to do research into the names you decide to use for your characters as there can be errors on my blog. Or meanings, origins, and pronunciations I have not seen thus not been able to add to this blog.





Try some of the leading Baby Name Sites and Baby Name or Character Naming books as well.
