Help[Facts] Indaliai - origin?
Does anyone know the origin of Indaliai? baby sites say 'sea feather' but how can they possibly know the meaning without a linguistic origin? I sincerely doubt that is the real meaning, so if i know the origin i can work it out for myself.

By doing some Googling I came up with the following page on a site put up by someone using the screen name of Raonaid in 2005:

As you can see, the explanation of Indaliai on this site is that it is an alternative name for an elf character also called Celemir Analote, and means "sea feather" in the "gryphon tongue". So it is an invented fantasy name, and the "meaning" of "sea feather" is from an invented fantasy language.
I have sent an email to "Raonaid" asking if she or he invented the name, or if it was found in a book or role-playing game or some other source. If I get an answer, I will post it here.
