There are different kinds of elves, and their names can differ greatly. Still, it is said they are given several names during their life, one they are given as a child, one they choose when they become an adult, a nickname they earned, and a family name.
Whether a wizard of great power, an adventurer who saved a village from a monster, or a general who slayed a demon on the battlefield, their actions made their names known, names like Aerendyl Norlen, Myriell Xilorauthi, and Zarprith Lorerenoth.

By using the suffixes mentioned here, we can provide insight into the character’s life by simply stating their name, and instead of using elven last names such as Keymaris and Quifiel, we can use the so-called human translations, such as Nightbreeze and Sunpetal.
