      Find Elvish name instant translators on the Internet. These websites instantly translate your own name into Elvish.

      Look for an Elvish language lexicon. Because of the popularity of the Tolkein books, many authors have taken to writing lexicons of the Elvish language for others to read and understand.

      Use the Elvish language lexicon to do your own Elvish name translation or look for one you like.

      Research the meaning of your own name before trying to translate it into Elvish. As in other languages, certain Elvish names have certain meanings, and you'll want to find one as close to the meaning of your own name as you can.
