Elianna has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

Being a classicist and an amatuer linguist, that last comment, The Might, was just too tempting. An untranslatable name, pfft.

After only a brief search on Google I found this here:

Sabine: "pertaining to a people in ancient Italy," 1387, from L. Sabinus (in poetic L. often Sabellus, connected by Tucker to root *sabh- "combine, gather, unite" (cf. Skt. sabha "gathering of village community," ... O.E. sibb "relationship, peace").

So you could either be Sibb, or Gadrian
