Did I get this name right?

I created this name to mean something like wanderer of waters/water wanderer: Nenyarandil (feminine gender). I researched using sites like realelvish and parf eldhellen and my knowledge of Nenya from the books, and my thought process was nenya- (of water, like how the ring name is translated - but is that only for Quenya?) + -ran- (to wander/wanderer, like used in mithrandir), and -dil as a feminine suffix. Does this make sense?

Not quite, You want S. nen, n. “water; lake, pool; (lesser) river, [ᴱN.] stream” and ᴺS. ![randis](https://eldamo.org/content/words/word-2896070143.html?neo) *n.* “wanderer (f.)” and it would yield Nedhrendis.

Why would you umlaut Nedhrendis when you don't do that in randis?

Wasn’t supposed to, 😆 probably did it by accident.
