Hello! Hmm, maybe...

*Narwen 'Sun-maiden, flame-maiden' (primary stress on first syllable). Compare Arwen and Narwain. Or maybe...

*Galadeth could be 'Light-woman, woman of light' (Galadriel 'woman crowned with radiant garland'). Primary stress on first syllable. Or maybe...

*Anóriel 'Sun-daughter' Primary stress on second syllable, anOriel (compare Anórien). Or maybe...

*Caladeth, using a different 'light-word' (primary stress on first syllable) At one point Gil-galad was explained as employing calad.

Compare Adaneth 'mortal woman' (which I think is attested somewhere! or at least theoried by the experts to mean this, if I recall correctly), and other feminine names with -iel (which appears to mean 'daughter' in some cases at least).

Just a few possibilities I hope you like (and are hopefully correct enough!).
