Yes, Elentari, queen of the stars, a Valar. I believe the significance of the name is that she is one of the most powerful of the Valar and she created the light of the stars and placed the sun and the moon in the skies of Middle-earth where before there was only darkness and the light of the stars. Morgoth and all of his evil servants hated the light, as it it a symbol of good and the power of the Valar, the race which their master, Morgoth, fell from.

Namárië,
Lúthien
