I absolutely LOVE this name! Elegant, but not frilly, graceful, but not overly feminine, plus it's ELVISH! :) So beautiful! Nicknames can be Ellie, Ella, or Tina.

The character of Luthien Tinuviel was based upon J.R.R. Tolkien's wife, Edith. The character of Beren was based on himself. The names "Luthien" and "Beren" are carved on their headstones as well.

Tinúviel is pronounced (tihn-OOH-vee-ehl). I think this is a very lovely name, especially if you know its background. The love between Lúthien and Beren is simply beautiful.

There should be an accent on the U: Tinúviel.

S. Feminine name. Nightingale, (lit.) Daughter of Twilight
The name that Beren gave to Lúthien, translated “Nightingale”, more literally “Daughter of Twilight” (S/165), a derivation of the primitive form ✶Tindōmiselde (PE19/73). It is essentially a combination of tinnu “twilight” and the suffix -iel, except that the archaic final -v lost in tinnu was preserved in the compound.
