A long, multi-syllabic elvish-style name built from "Eryu-" — echoing Quenya "eru" (the One, supreme deity) — with "-na-" (a grace particle) and "-nor" (land, guardian).

An invented elvish name combining "Vaelu-" (the "Vael-" strength/valley prefix with a deepened "-u-") with "-nor," Sindarin for land or guardian. The name suggests "guardian of the deep valley" or "lord of the low, hidden lands" — a protector of places that are defensible precisely because they are not obvious.
