Giving Strength
The name "Ecthelion" apparently has no translation. However, its two elements, 'ec' and 'thelion', are very close to 'ech' and 'thalion', Sindarin elements meaning 'to make' and 'strong'. Since the first Ecthelion was an elf-lord of Gondolin and made the city strong, so to speak, is this a possible translation of his name?
