Arwen

Arwen is an elvish name from J.R.R.

Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium, borne by the immortal elf who chooses mortality to marry Aragorn in *The Lord of the Rings*.

The name has entered use as a given name for girls, particularly since the Peter Jackson film adaptations: Our daughter Arwen was born in 2002.
