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.
