Names and Their Origins

Dúrandis - Night Wanderer
Dû (S) noun. 'night'
Randir (S) noun. 'wanderer'

Named as such first by the elves of the Woodland Realm, she has borne this name throughout the Second and Third Ages. It was bestowed upon her for her most notable trait; her unfailing tendency to appear only at night, and to shun the bright light of day. This is the name she is most commonly referred to by, and her current favorite.

Elmothel - Lady of Starry Dusk
Êl (S) noun. 'star'
Moth (S) noun. 'dusk'
-(i)el (S) f. suffix.

During the time when she was 'beholden' to the rule of Thingol, she resided primarily within the forest of Nan Elmoth, in wary peace with Eöl the Smith. When no name was given, she was introduced by Eöl as 'Elmothel'. For the entirety of the First Age, this was her name, and is known to those of Doriathrim heritage.

Lilitserilde - Dancer / Light of Dance
Lilta (P.E.) root. 'dance'

Only a handful of Quendi left on Arda know of her ancient name, and most only call her by the Sindarinized version, Lilithril, but rarely. It is the name given to her long, long ago, as she danced upon fair shores beneath the light of the stars. To know this name is to know her, wholly, and to know that she is no longer this name.

Connections

Do We Know Each Other?

Absolutely, if;

➤ You live, or have lived, in Mirkwood since or after Oropher's rule.

➤ You live in Rhovanion, be you Man or Elf

➤ You lived in either Doriath or Nan Elmoth prior to the Second Kinslaying

Dúrandis is intended to be a psuedo-mythical figure to the Elves of Doriath, Mirkwood, Lothlórien, and the Men of Rohan, and as such you are entirely welcomed to have heard of her; though prior interactions with her, except perhaps glimpsing her from afar, are rare.
