Early Quenya
eriol
masculine name. One Who Dreams Alone
eriollo
place name. Ironcliffs
Qenya
ereol
masculine name. Ereol
Another name for Ælfwine appearing in Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, revised from Eriol (LR/203). This character was the Anglo-saxon traveller who translated the tales of the Elves into Old English while in Tol Eressëa; this was the (fictional) source Tolkien used in his own writing of the tales.
Conceptual Development: This name is a remnant of ᴱQ. Eriol from the earliest Lost Tales who played the same role; in those early tales the name was given as Qenya and glossed “One Who Dreams Alone” (LT1/14). The name appeared in the Qenya Lexicon from the 1910s as Erioll-, who was described as “a dreamer” under the root ᴱ√OLO (QL/69). Christopher Tolkien suggested the name was derived from a combination of the roots ᴱ√ERE “remain alone” and ᴱ√LORO “slumber” (LT1A/Eriol).
Tolkien introduced the name Ælfwine for this character towards the end of the Lost Tales (LT2/278), but the name Eriol/Ereol continued to appear in Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s (SM/165-6, note #10; LR/203). In Tolkien’s later writings, however, he used only the name Ælfwine.

An adaptation of the Qenya name Ereol given to Ælfwine by the elves of Tol Eressëa in Tolkien's earlier material. Formed in such a way as to preserve its original meaning of "One Who Dreams Alone." Derived from er "one, alone" and óla- "to dream."
