elanor

elanor is both the name of the sunflower that grows in the Land of Lothlorien and the name Samwise Gamgee gives to his first daughter in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The name means "light" and describes someone who is basically other-wordly, a supernaturally radiant person who lights up the people around her. An Elanor is intelligent, beautiful in non-conventional ways, and tremendously loyal and courageous.

"Elanor, I feel like I'm always going to want your affirmation and I'm never going to get it."

"Why not, Elanor? Remember Sam? The little sunflower that grows in Lothlorien?" "That's it Mister Frodo! That's what I wanted!"
