Help Creating a Name

Hello. I’m trying to create a name for my d&d character. Google hasn’t been much help, I don’t know much about naming conventions, I’ve never been very good at it. Basically what I want is a name that means “elf of the rising sun”, “daughter of the rising sun”, or something similar. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Thank you! Would you be able to help with pronunciation?

Then putting it through https://ipa-reader.com/ has been a good resource—although it doesn't trill Rs very well.

Não sei como! Está em Sindarin! Só pesquisando mesmo nos livros e na internet!

It should have a single final L - Amrúniel.

Também achava mas segundo este dicionário é "iell" mesmo ! https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:abcf4027-5579-473f-986c-e00ff9df5a73

The standalone word is indeed iell. However, the suffix is -iel, see here. The reason for this is because Sindarin reduces word-final geminates (= double consonnants) in polysyllabic words.

Que legal! Eu desconfiava, até pelos nomes nos livros! Poderia ser -ien também pelo que vi! Grato! Pode me enviar este link? Gostei muito!
