📖 About Arwen
Arwen is a Welsh feminine name, a variant of Anwen, meaning "very beautiful" or "very fair." Rooted in the Celtic tradition, it gained worldwide fame through Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, where Arwen Undómiel is an Elven princess. This dual heritage — authentic Welsh and literary Elvish — has given the name unique cross-cultural appeal, rising in popularity since the early 2000s film adaptations.
