A lot of the Elven names are translations. So, Legolas Greenleaf- one day a man who didn't know Sindarin or Quenya (I'm not sure which, though I would if I thought about it) came along and said "Legolas. That's a cool name, what's it mean?" And there's his nickname.
I used to go by the name "Gilmir Starjewel"- same thing. Last name is the same in a different language.
