"Elm"

From Cornish

Elowyn means elm tree or noble friend — blending elements from the Welsh/Cornish el (elm) and wyn (fair/blessed). Tolkien's Éowyn carries similar sounds — she slew the Witch-king and said I am no man. The name sounds like an enchanted forest in Cornwall: three syllables of elm-tree strength, Tolkien-adjacent mythology, and the woman who killed what could not be killed.
