Eärendel
The umlauted 'a' in Eärendil indicates that the 'a' be pronounced separately from the 'E'. This name has its ultimate origin in a line from the Old-English Exeter Book: "Eala Earendel, engla beorhtest ofer Middangeard monnum sended", and retains the Old-English pronunciation in its later form.
