Bearing a magical twist that you can’t help but love, elf names for girls are favorites among fantasy and literary lovers. Whether you prefer classic Tolkien-style elfin names or something more spry, we’ve compiled some of the best elf names for girls out there for you.
First up are the classic Tolkien names hailing from the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings series. With Tolkien elf girl names, they typically follow the rule of ending in -iel or -ien, suffixes that note them as female in the elfin language the series follows. This includes Galadriel, Luthien, and Tauriel. Among them, you’ll also find Arwen, who is renowned for her loyalty in the franchise. Arwen, while elvish, is a beautiful Welsh name that fits in today’s namescape, working alongside Rowan and her elfish counterpart Avery nicely.
You can also look to meanings to find elf names for girls, with Avery and Aubrey (and their variants) dominating toward the top of the charts with their elf-themed meanings. Livi and Alva are less popular picks bearing the popular meaning, and both have the in-demand V sound within them. Livi has the bonus of being similar to the mega-popular Olivia, so she doesn’t feel all that out there, yet won’t appear on her own in every classroom.
Others may seek for elf names for girls related to Christmas, hoping to pick a name with winter-themed magic. Merry and Holly work well in this instance, along with Noel and Joy. Each has a clear tie to the holiday along with a light, happy feel often associated with elves.
Elf names for girls aren’t a one-size-fits all category. Lovers of popular names and those who adore rare gems will find equally suitable names in their ranks. They hail from everything from made-up elfin languages to Welsh classics, making girl elf names as diverse as they are beautiful.
