If 'Aegthelion' is the archaic form, then is 'fell strength' is another possible translation?

I don't think Ecthelion's name would be Sindarin. Since he was an elf of Gondolin, his name was probably Noldorin.
Earendil's name was said to be of a speech unique to the Gondolhrim, (I think it is mentioned in the fall of Gondolin), perhaps the name Ecthelion was also of that language.
