Elianna has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

means 'star-gift'. Star part is 'eli', gift part is 'anna'. Guess that makes it Quenya...

I actually got the idea from a Star Trek DS9 episode when they were trying to convince Kira that her name was Iliana and that she was Cardasian. This was the only name I've heard that made me think "That's a really pretty name", and I realized that with only a little tweeking, it would be Elvish.

I also like reading name books, and found out that it's a real name in Hebrew meaning "My Lord has answered me." Cool huh?
