AlatárielA name of GaladrielThe youngest child of Finarfin and Eärwen was given the name Artanis by her father, and later Nerwen by her mother. In adulthood, though, she acquired a new name - a so-called epessë - Alatáriel, from the Telerin1 for 'maiden crowned with a garland of radiance'. The name was a reference to her shimmering hair, that was said to shine with a radiant golden light. When Alatáriel travelled to Middle-earth with the Exiles, she took a new name in the Sindarin language of Beleriand. That name was a translation of her Telerin epessë, and so she took what was to become the most famous of all her names: Galadriel. Notes
