Elenwë (Q, pron. [eˈlenwe]) was the wife of Turgon and mother of Idril Celebrindal. She was one of the Vanyar, and her golden hair passed to her daughter[1].
She followed her family to the departure of the Ñoldor from Aman. After Fëanor and his sons departed using the only ships, Fingolfin and Turgon took their people across the dangerous Helcaraxë, during which Elenwe was lost in the crossing, right before the Noldor returned to Middle-earth[2][3].
Elenwë is the only documented full Vanya who accompanied the Flight of the Noldor and came under the Doom of Mandos. But because of her death she did not reach Middle-earth, so no known full Vanya is specifically known to have stepped foot on Middle-earth alive since leaving it after the Great Journey.
Etymology
The name contains elen meaning "star". The ending -wë means "person"[4][5] and is peculiar since it is seen mostly in masculine names.
