Kate Monk's Onomastikon

(Dictionary of Names)


J.R.R. Tolkien


Although his works are classified as fantasy, much of the backgroud has an historical basis. Most of the names are also taken from Medieval history and the languages he invented bear a close resemblance to early forms of Norse and English.
