Eruanno

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eruanno is the Quenya translation of the Christian name Matthew.

[edit] Derivation

In Hebrew, Matthew means gift of God. This meaning can be translated using the Quenya words Eru (the One), and anna (a gift), and converting to a name using the -o suffix to indicate masculinity. The -o ending also conveniently matches the genitive case relationship between the words.

[edit] Use

• The name of a knight in the computer game, Tibia [1].
• By various fans of Tolkien's works, who may have the real name Matthew.
