Ailinónë was the name of a "fairy who dwelt in a lily on a pool", according to the early version of the legendarium associated with The Book of Lost Tales.[1] Nothing else is known about her, and she doesn't appear in any of the narratives.
Etymology
The name Ailinónë is in Qenya, possibly being a feminized form of ailinon ("water lily").[2]
