![]() ![]() The three approaches for translating El are Eru, Balan, and Êl. This makes the genderless names: Erundur, Ainundur, and Valandur. In Quenya, the name suffix meaning “servant of” is – ndur. The name is the name of an Angel, so I’m translating it as “servant of Eru/the Valar/the Ainur.” So instead, I suggest names based on the character’s relationship with the divine. To these, we can add the adjective suffix – vea meaning “like,” making: Eruvea, Ainuvea, Valavea, and Elvea.Īdding a masculine name suffix we get: Eruveo, Ainuveo, Valaveo, and Elveo.Īnd since there are many feminine versions of Michael, here they are with a feminine name suffix instead: Eruvie, Ainuvie, Valavie, and Elvie.Īs names of characters in an Arda context, none of these work, except the names based on Elvea because it sounds like the word “star-like.” This is too close to impersonating the divine. The three approaches for translating El in Quenya are Eru, Aino/Vala, and Él. In Elven languages it’ll sound like a word for “star.” Translate the name-within-the-name: El means “a god.”.Cultural equivalent: replace El Elyon with Eru Ilúvatar.I wrote an essay about this very problem: “Challenges in Translating Names from Our World,” but I’ll summarize the three approaches here. This has a name within a name, so we’ll need to consider how to translate Ēl as well. I think that in this case, stepping away from the original meaning slightly is our only option for useable names. I’ve seen a few different people try to mush together the words of the sentence to make the name, but Elven names just aren’t made that way, and I find the resulting names incomprehensible. This is a poor solution, but there are no good solutions for this translation. When it comes to translating this, I’ll make names that drop the “who is” part entirely. Worse yet, this is a sentence, and we have no precedent for pronouns appearing in personal names. They’re made by combining nouns, adjectives, and name suffixes. When it comes to translating this name, we have a huge problem. Musk has five other children – twins Griffin and Xavier and triplets Damian, Saxon and Kai – from a previous marriage, and Rogan asked how it felt to have another child now.Michael, your name is so cool! It’s a rhetorical question, “Who is like El Elyon?” This is the couple’s first child together. ![]() And then, the Æ is, like, pronounced ‘Ash’… and then, A-12, A-12 is my contribution.” Rogan then asked how to say it, to which Musk responded: “I mean it’s just X, the letter X. “First of all, my partner is the one that, actually, mostly, came up with the name,” the Tesla and SpaceX CEO said. However, Musk told podcast host Joe Rogan a different pronunciation of the name in a conversation released Thursday, even as he credited Grimes for coming up with the moniker. Like how you said the letter A then I,” wrote Grimes on Thursday in response to a query on Instagram.
