Elf
elf
- O.E. elf, жlf, from P.Gmc. *albiz, origin unknown, possibly from PIE *albho- "white." Originally a powerful supernatural being. A popular component in Anglo-Saxon names, many of which survive as modern given names and surnames, cf. Жlfrжd "Elf-counsel" (Alfred), Жlfwine "Elf-friend" (Alvin), Жlfric "Elf-ruler" (Eldridge), also women's names such as Жlfflжd "Elf-beauty." Elf Lock hair tangled, especially by Queen Mab, "which it was not fortunate to disentangle" [according to Robert Nares' glossary of Shakespeare] is from 1592.
