Guys, I think I may have a proper definition for the name of Uinen. Here's the logic behind it:
It must be made of two parts, the second of which is NEN:water.
So the first element is probably UI. This occurs in Uilos, which means Ever-snow(or Ever-white). Besides that, there is also the Quenya form OIO, in Oiolossë, Oiomúrë, etc.

So combining the two elemnts will result in UI+NEN: Ever-water. What do you think? should we write this in the Etymology section? {{unsigned| Reallyfat}}

:The name is Quenya, so your suggestion is impossible. It's said to be adapted from [[Valarin]] in ''[[The War of the Jewels]]'', and an earlier explanation in ''[[The Etymologies]]'' links the first element to "uilë" "long trailing plant, especially seaweed" . -{{User:Ederchil/sig}} 16:48, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

::Oh. Quenya. Poof... But anyway. At least, since this definition does exist, then how about we add it into the etymology? It would probably end up as Seaweed-water, but that could be a reference to how her hair used to spread through the entire sea. Unless, in this case, the 'long trailing plant' IS her hair?
