How to read this dictionary

Each entry is:

English — Quenya (pronunciation) / Sindarin (pronunciation) — context note

When a word exists only in one language, we mark it. Pronunciation uses simple English-style guides — for full pronunciation rules, see our Quenya pronunciation guide and Sindarin pronunciation guide.

Words marked (Neo) are reconstructed by modern Tolkien linguists from canonical roots; words without that mark are directly attested by Tolkien.

How to use these words in names

A famous Tolkien naming convention is to combine two roots. To make a believable Elvish name:

1. Pick two roots from this dictionary (e.g., Glor- "golden" + findel "hair" = Glorfindel)
2. Adjust for sound — Elvish drops doubled vowels, adjusts for euphony
3. Use the gender-marking suffix: -iel (female), -ion (son of)
4. Read aloud — if it doesn't flow, the name is wrong

For a deeper walk-through: Elvish names meaning and DnD elvish character names.

Caveats and best practices

1. Quenya vs Sindarin: don't mix them in one phrase. Pick a language and stay there. Quenya is high-formal (vows, inscriptions). Sindarin is everyday (greetings, conversation).
2. Neo-Elvish entries (marked (Neo)) are reconstructions. For permanent inscriptions (tattoos, gravestones), prefer canon-attested words. For poetry and roleplay, Neo-Elvish is fine.
3. Pronunciation matters. Read the Quenya pronunciation guide once. Stress is almost always on the second-to-last syllable.
4. Don't use online translators alone for permanent ink. See common tattoo translation mistakes.

People also ask

How many Elvish words exist? About 5,000 attested Quenya words and 4,000 attested Sindarin words, plus several thousand more Neo-Elvish reconstructions in active community use. The total active vocabulary is roughly 10,000 — small compared to English's 170,000+ but more than enough for fluent everyday conversation.

Is Elvish vocabulary growing? Yes, in two ways: (1) Christopher Tolkien's posthumous publications (The History of Middle-earth, Parma Eldalamberon, Vinyar Tengwar) continue to release previously-unpublished Tolkien manuscripts with new vocabulary, and (2) the Neo-Elvish community coins new words from canonical roots for modern concepts (cellphone, internet, etc.) using attested derivation rules.

Which is more useful — Quenya or Sindarin? Sindarin is more useful for everyday conversation (more attested daily-life vocabulary, easier pronunciation for English speakers). Quenya is more useful for inscriptions, formal poetry, names, and anything ceremonial. Serious learners study both — see our Quenya vs Sindarin guide.

Are there Elvish dictionaries in book form? Yes — the most comprehensive printed Elvish dictionaries are A Gateway to Sindarin by David Salo, Quettaparma Quenyallo by Helge Fauskanger, and the academic journals Parma Eldalamberon and Vinyar Tengwar. Online: the Eldamo database at eldamo.org is the gold-standard digital reference.

What's the Elvish word for "magic"? Quenya curu (KOO-roo) — meaning craft, skill, magic-as-art. Used in Curumo (Saruman's true name). Sindarin curu is the same word. For darker magic, Sindarin uses morgul (MOR-gul) — Tolkien specifically used this for evil sorcery (Minas Morgul).

Is "Mellon" the only Elvish password from the films? Yes — mellon (Sindarin for "friend") is the only canon spoken password in the LOTR films, opening the West-gate of Moria. The full inscription reads Pedo mellon a minno ("Say 'friend' and enter").

Can I get a tattoo of an Elvish word? Yes, but stick to canon-attested words from this dictionary. The most-tattooed: estel (hope), meleth/melmë (love), namárië (farewell), mellon (friend), aurë (dawn). For phrases, get a second opinion from r/Quenya or our AI tutor — see common tattoo translation mistakes.
