Looking for a name related to Tolkien and Middle Earth? A list of Hobbit, Elves and other names from Middle Earth.
  1. Adelard

    • Description:

      Adelard is a masculine name with Germanic origins, composed of the elements 'adal' meaning 'noble' and 'hard' meaning 'brave' or 'strong.' This powerful combination yields a meaning of 'noble strength' or 'brave nobleman.' The name was brought to England by the Normans following the Norman Conquest and was moderately popular during the medieval period. Adelard of Bath, a 12th-century English scholar and philosopher, represents one notable historical bearer. Despite its distinguished heritage and pleasant sound, Adelard has become extremely rare in modern times. The name carries an aristocratic, intellectual quality with its connection to medieval scholarship. Its traditional Germanic structure gives it a solid, timeless feel, while its rarity makes it distinctive for contemporary use. Adelard offers the appeal of ancient nobility with a sophisticated sound.

  2. Angelica

    • Origin:

      Italian, Polish, Russian diminutive of Angela

    • Meaning:

      "angel or angelic"

    • Description:

      Angelica is by far the choicest form of the angelic names -- more delicate than Angelina, more feminine than Angel, more modern than Angela. But though Angelica is so lacy and poetic, it lags behind the bolder Angelina (probably for obvious reasons).
  3. Arwen

    • Origin:

      Literature, Sindarin, Welsh

    • Meaning:

      "noble maiden; fair, blessed"

    • Description:

      Best known as the princess of the Elves in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Arwen is a fantasy-inspired choice that feels perfectly down to earth. In 2022, it entered the UK Top 400, making it one of the fastest rising names, more than doubling in use from the previous year.
  4. Balbo

    • Origin:

      Latin

    • Meaning:

      "mutterer"

    • Description:

      Balbo is more commonly seen as an Italian surname, but in the times of Milo, Otto, and Arlo, what's to stop parents from choosing this unusual name for their child. For aviation buffs comes the added interest of the term signifying the mass fly-by at the end of an airshow.
  5. Balin

    • Origin:

      Hindi

    • Meaning:

      "mighty sword"

    • Description:

    • Origin:

      Turkish and Persian, Russian

    • Meaning:

      "rain; ram"

    • Description:

      Baran is barely known in the US -- unless it's mistaken for royal moniker and Trump son name Baron -- but it might make a perfect choice for a boy born under the sign of Aries.
  7. Bell

    • Origin:

      English and Scottish occupational name

    • Meaning:

      "ringer of the bell"

    • Description:

  8. Berylla

    • Description:

      Berylla is a feminine name with ancient roots, derived from the Greek word 'beryllos,' referring to the beryl gemstone. This semi-precious stone has been valued since ancient times, giving the name an elegant, classical quality. Berylla can be considered a more elaborate form of Beryl, which gained modest popularity as a female name in the early 20th century. The name has connections to medieval English naming traditions, appearing occasionally in historical records. While never widely used, Berylla carries an ethereal, vintage charm that appeals to those drawn to rare gem names with historical significance. The name evokes images of beauty and preciousness while maintaining a distinctive sound.

    • Meaning:

      "bright fame"

    • Description:

    • Meaning:

      "archer"

    • Description:

      Bowman has a lot of winning ingredients: an occupational surname, a cool "Bo" sound, and an archery-related meaning. Given to around 40 boys in the US in a recent year, it could work as a rarer, but not outrageous, alternative to the likes of Bodhi, Beau, Bowen, and Brody.
  14. Camellia

    • Origin:

      Flower name, from Czech surname

    • Meaning:

      "Kamel's flower"

    • Description:

      Chica is a feminine name with direct Spanish origins, literally meaning 'girl' or 'small girl' in Spanish. Simple yet distinctive, this name has an endearing quality with its straightforward meaning and brevity. Chica is not widely used as a formal given name in English-speaking countries but may be found as a nickname or term of endearment in Spanish-speaking communities. The name carries connotations of youthfulness, vibrancy, and cultural connection to Hispanic heritage. Its simplicity gives it a certain charm while its direct meaning makes it an uncommon but meaningful choice for parents seeking a name with clear Latino roots.
  17. Daeron

    • Description:

      Daeron is a masculine name with literary origins, most notably appearing in J.R.R. Tolkien's mythology of Middle-earth as the name of an elven minstrel. The name has an elegant, otherworldly quality typical of Tolkien's elvish naming conventions. While not from traditional naming etymologies, Daeron carries connotations of artistry, wisdom, and ethereal elegance. The name may also appeal to fans of George R.R. Martin's 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series, where similar-sounding names appear. Daeron has gained limited usage among parents influenced by fantasy literature and those seeking unique names with melodious sounds. Its construction follows patterns found in Celtic and Welsh naming traditions, giving it a familiar quality despite its literary invention.
  18. Dain

    • Description:

      Dain is a masculine name with multiple cultural origins. In Norse mythology, Dáin was one of the dwarfs mentioned in the Poetic Edda, giving the name a connection to ancient Germanic traditions. It may also be related to the Gaelic name Dáire, meaning 'fruitful' or 'fertile.' Some consider it a short form of Daniel or a variant of Dane, relating to someone from Denmark. The name has a strong, concise quality with its single syllable and straightforward pronunciation. While never among the most popular names, Dain has attracted parents seeking a brief, powerful-sounding name with historical depth. Its Norse mythological connections particularly appeal to those interested in Viking heritage or fantasy literature where such names often appear.

    • Meaning:

      "day's eye"

    • Description:
