Lorien is the perfect name for your magical little one. This gender-neutral name will be no stranger to fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel The Lord of the Rings, in which it originated. Lorien or Lórien means “Land of Gold” and is a shortened version of Lothlórien—the fairest of the Elvish realms—which translates to “Lórien of the Blossom.” The name was also the more common name of the Vala who dwelled in the realm, Irmo. He had many titles, including “Master of Dreams and Illusions,” “Master of Desire,” and “God of Dreams and Visions.” With a name like Lorien, your little elf will surely master any craft and bring goodness and light wherever they go. Your life will be much richer with the magical addition to your life, baby Lorien.
