riellë or riel is a noun in Quenya and Telerin meaning "a maiden crowned with a festival garland"[1], or more simply "garlanded maiden". Compare with rî in Sindarin.

Examples:

  • Altáriel = "Maiden of the Radiant Garland"
  • Míriel = "Maiden of the Jeweled Garland"

[edit] Etymology

Possible Primitive Elvish form *rîgellê from the Root RIG.

From ría/rie "garland" and elle.
