Hi Eruwen!

Note that I have not read The Silmarillion, only the Appendix and Index (which has given me the condensed version, I guess). So, with some luck, someone else will give you more detailed (and accurate) information.

Eru is Ilúvatar, ‘The One’, ‘He that is Alone’. (GOD?)

So, Eruwen is 'maiden of Eru' or perhaps poetically and Biblically (if you're into that stuff) 'handmaiden of the Lord'.

Welcome to the Barrow Downs!
