The Spell of the Nightingale by Paula DiSante
Tinúviel (S, pron. [tiˈnuːvjel]) is a Sindarin poetic term, though not a literal name, for the 'Nightingale'. This name was first given to Lúthien of Doriath by Beren when he first saw her dancing in the forest.[1]
Etymology
The word derives from Primitive Quendian tindômiselde. Literally it means "Daughter of Twilight".[2]
It can be analyzed as tinnu(w) + sell.[source?]
