Your name in Elvish - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Neurion looks like Quenya to me. Neuro means follower or succesor. Neurion could mean "of the followers" (what the ending implies) but I'm not sure. I would render that "Neuroron." In any case, I am no expert at Quenya, but the name definitely looks more Quenyan than sindarin to my eyes.

I was named in Gujarati, an Indic tongue where names still correspond to actual words, meanig the translation of my name is even more accurate than an English name would be. My name, literally, means "Victory" (and can be used in sentences in the language).
I translated this into Quenya, and voila! my name is Apaire. Interestingly, my father's name also translates as Victory, so I'm Apaire son of Apaire, or Apaire Apairion.
