Best Answer

Tolkien named the elves' swords to give them unique, significant identities that would reflect the characters and histories of their owners. Each sword name carried a deeper meaning or connection to elven culture, enhancing the richness of the world Tolkien created in Middle-earth.

Do the elves in Lord of the Rings have body hair?

Unlike modern fantasy authors, Tolkien did not describe this sort of thing. The elves "prized beautiful hair," but I believe that only refers to one kind. I think the reigning belief in the Tolkien fan community seems to be that the males, anyway, did not have hair on their chests.
