Re: Arwen and Eowyn
in reply to a message by lac
Hi there,yes, Arwen is indeed a real Welsh name. It means muse. Maybe Tolkien didn't know that name already existed when he used it or he knew it anyway, we'll never know. My sister is called Arwen and when my parents chose the name they didn't even know about the LOTR character Arwen. My sis is very happy to have that name and she loves the LOTR.Cwtch,
Megan
