Its name is Sindarin for 'Land of the Prince' (dor = land, en = of (genetive article), ernil = prince]], a reference to the Princes of Dol Amroth. Its boundaries are not entirely clear: the maps in The Lord of the Rings seem to show it some miles to the east of Dol Amroth, separated from that headland by an unnamed range of hills. Given its connection to the Princes, though, it seems implausible that it would be disconnected from their citadel, so the placing of its label on the maps is probably no more than a convenience.
