Inwe, I have no clue what it is?

Question

what language is "Inwe" from?what does it mean?and why does it mean that?

Answer 1

Inwe, or Ingwë , was King of the Eldar (elven people) in J.R.R. Tolkien's mythology. It is from an elvish tongue called Eldarin, Tolkien's own creation. BUT Tolkien's invented languages drew heavily on his own study of languages as a Professor of Anglo-Saxon.

On this character:
"Inwe held the title of King of all the Eldar during the time they lived in Kor. It was he who led the Eldar out into the lands of Men. He was the father of Ingil. The Gnomes called him Inwithiel."

Here's a little about the background and meaning of this name:

"Tolkien took this name from human mythology and as it had an obscure etymology he invented an Elvish one, the root INI- 'small' (LT:294, QL:42). There was a Germanic god Ing (Yngve, Ingui), later Freyr; and he was responsible for fertility. It is notable that Freyr means 'lord' (compare Gothic fráuja, OE. freá 'master, lord'). In the later sources Ingwë is translated as 'chief', also in the form Ingwë Ingweron 'chief of chiefs' (PM:340), connected to the stem ING- 'first, foremost, high, noble, lofty' (Etym, VT45:18); inga 'top' (VT47:28), thus the Vanyar are the 'high-elves'."

Some additional names of Inwë are: Inweg, Inwithiel, Im (GL:51).
