In J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, Elves are one of the races that inhabit a fictional Earth, often called Middle-earth, and set in the remote past. They appear in The Hobbit and in The Lord of the Rings. Their complex history is described in The Silmarillion, as well as in the Unfinished Tales and The History of Middle-earth.
The following is an alphabetically ordered list of Elves that are named in Tolkien's works. It excludes the Half-elven such as Elrond and Arwen.
Elvish names have meanings in the Elvish languages devised by Tolkien, e.g. Quenya, Noldorin, Goldogrin, Sindarin.
Tolkien decided late in his life that Elves of the Second Clan who lived in Eldamar bore several names:
Most elves in Tolkien's writing appear with only one name.
When you were collecting
For you sex appeal
He was in killing fields
Over you
You went
And took away his self respect
Put him out like a cigarette
You blow
Chorus:
Don’t bother coming home
You said all you’ve got to say
He can get with the girls again
Cos he’s a charming man
It’s true
He can drink with the boys tonight
And have a fight, alright
And spew
You’re history
You’re history
Got your tits done
And moved out the very next day
All you left was the bill to pay
What a front
Could she not see what you’re a righteous man?
A gun in hand
Cupid stunned
He used to want your love
Now he wants you to go away
He can drink till he’s comatosed
Yeah he rocks the most
Can't you see
He’s got diamonds in his eyes tonight
Could give you quite a fright
No sympathy
You’re history
You’re history
Don’t bother coming home
You said all you’ve got to say
He can get with the girls again
Cos he’s a charming man
It’s true
He can drink with the boys all night
And have a fight, alright
And spew
He will drink till he’s comatosed
Yeah, He rocks the most
Can’t you see?
He’s got diamonds in his eyes tonight
Could give you quite a fright
Yes siree
You’re history
