ArchivesMeaning of the name Nenya and Yaline?
I was looking around on here, and I came across this name list:

The poster said they found the names on an arctic site. Two names really struck out to me:
Nenya and Yaline.
Since Nenya and Yaline are the name of Nenets children, I suppose it makes a lot of sense why Nenya has a bit of a "Russian" sound to it (the -ya). Though I was wondering: Anyone have an idea what the names might mean? Whenever I look up Nenya online, it seems to just talk about Galadriel's ring from LOTR and spell-check for Kenya. I'm not finding anything for Yaline from a site I feel I can put credibility into, and there doesn't seem to be anything on BtN about it.
