Meaning of Arwen

Arwen is a Welsh-flavored jewel, pronounced simply AR-wen. Tolkien shaped it from Elvish roots to mean “noble maiden,” and his luminous heroine Arwen Undómiel still turns pages and hearts. The name has danced in the U.S. Top 1000 since the 1970s, now gliding around the 700s, so it feels fresh without being everywhere. Two neat syllables, no tongue-twister—no need to speak Elvish to get it right. Its sound is soft as moonlight and bright as a trumpet’s call, a blend that says grace and courage in the same breath. In Spanish ears it rolls like aire suave, adding un toque de magia. Choose Arwen and you gift a little girl a story of bravery, love, and noble spirit—listo para su propia aventura.
