Elven Gender Neutral Names!
Looking for an elven name with meanings in DnD Elvish? This is the list for you!
While this is listed for gender neutral names - the Elvish languages, and the Elves themselves, doesn't have the same binary that English does. This extends to the names. Most Elf names are gender neutral!
Irinon
Pronounced: ir-IN-on
Meaning: Forsaker
This comes from the Elvish word: irino meaning "to forsake". This name is prefect for a wanderer who left their home or family.
Sèhin, Sùhin, Syhin
Pronounced: suh-HIN
Meaning: Wild Curator
This name combines the elements sù meaning "wild, untamed" and hin "reciever, collector, scholar, researcher (ideas, knowledge, song)" or "a welcome".
This is a great name for a bard!
Levaen

The word lev means "cloud". While Levae means "cloud like" or "free". The final n makes this a name.
Kaen

Meaning: Thoughtful One
The adjective kae means "deep thought, deep emotion".
Sӯn, Sun
Pronounced: soon
Meaning: One who Grows Unrestained, Unabashed
An excellent name for a Wild Elf.
Arivey, Arivae
Pronounced: ar-ee-VEY
Meaning: Sunlight
A great name for a High Elf, this name means sunlight. It combines the word ar "sun" with ivae "light".
Extra: the Elven word for sun, ar, is used in many ways and has lots of hidden meanings. Depending on how an Elf stresses that initial "a" the meaning of this name changes as well!
If you stress the final "vey" the ar means "sun, shining, goddess, life-giving". So you get "Sunlight".
BUT, if you stress the initial "ar" instead, the meaning changes to "high, noble, worthy, majestic". New Meaning = Majestic Light would be the new meaning.
Isn't that neat?
Arzu
Pronounced: AR-zu
Meaning: Sunset
Gara
Pronounced: GA-ra

The perfect nickname for a Bladesinger or for any Elven warrior.
Maelo

Bonus Idea: if your elf has a twin, name them Naïlath, which means "Day Wind"!
