Which is equivalent to the English name Patricia, which is from the latin for 'noblewoman'. Also, Ioreth is Sindarin for 'old woman', which is the meaning of the English name Priscilla!
(Sorry, I picked up a book of boys & girls names at Oxonmoot, which gives Sindarin equivalents of English names. The Sindarin equivalent of my actual name is apparently Melben.
And Helen, from Greek for sunbeam would have the Sindarin equivalent of Glawareth, while George (GK=earthworker)would be Barmudon.
Yes, I know I'm off topic now - I'll get me coat!)
