Elves are typically named after their birth year, place of origin, or a specific trait or characteristic that is unique to them. Some elves may choose to adopt a pseudonym to distinguish themselves from others or add a bit of mystery to their identity. Some popular elf names include Elrond, Galadriel, Legolas, and Arwen. However, there is no one-size-fits-all naming convention for elves, and each elf may have their own distinct name based on their individuality.
