Eldamar was the land of the Elves in Aman, a coastal region that extended to Alqualonde.

[edit] Etymology

Eldamar means "Elvenhome" in Quenya (from elda = "High-elf" and már = "home").

[edit] Inspiration

The name is a direct translation of the mythological Elfhame (lit. "Elf-home") meaning "Elfland, Faery".
