Dwarves are a race of small, humanoid creatures that typically reside in mountains and hills. The word “dwarf” is derived from the Germanic dweraz (meaning stunted), which is related to the Old Norse dvergr (which also means dwarf). Dwarves generally have an appearance similar to humans, but with a few notable differences. For example, dwarves have beards and they live much longer than humans do;
some can even reach up to 400 years old! Female dwarves often share names with their male counterparts or use feminine versions of those names. Some popular female dwarfs include Arwen, Dori, Dwalin, Gimli’s wife Lalia Took-Dwalinsson (the first female dwarf to be named in Tolkien’s novels), and Thorin II Oakenshield’s wife Dís.
The name “Arwen” may come from the word for ‘elven woman’ or it could have been derived from a Celtic goddess of life, love and death called Arwyn (who was associated with fairies). The meaning of this female dwarvish name is unknown. Some variants on Arwen are Elwing (the daughter of Earendil who married Tuor) and Aerwir (a Queen-Elf who created the three Silmarils). The names “Dori,” Dwalin,” Gimli’s Wife Lalia Took-Dwalinsson,” and “Thorin II Oakenshield’s Wife Dís” are all in the style of Tolkien.
Interesting Female Dwarf Names: Arwen, Dwalin, Lalia Took-Dwalinsson, Aerwir.
The name Dwalin could come from an Old Norse word for ‘a dwarf’. The names Gimli and Lalia might be derived from a Scandinavian god called Giallar (or Gjalar) who was considered to have knowledge about death, which is also reflected by dwarves being able to sense impending death. The meaning of this male dwarvish name is unknown. In Tolkiens world, Gimli’s father may have been named Glóin or Gróin. There were two famous Dwarves with that surname: Thorin I Durinn (who was a member of the company that fought with Bilbo Baggins.
The name Lalia probably comes from an Old Norse word meaning ‘lazy, slow’. In Tolkiens world, this female Dwarf’s husband might have been named Óin or Glóin. There were two famous Dwarves with those surnames: Thorin I Durinn (who was a member of the company that fought with Bilbo Baggins) and his son Gimli who married Dís. The third possible surname for her is Dwalin which some sources say could come from an Old Norse word for dwarf – in Tolkienian tradition it means dark elf.”
Excerpts From Wikipedia: “In JRR Tolkien’s books Middle-Earth there are five different races of Dwarves. The five species are Durin’s Folk, the Firebeards and Broadbeams, the Ironfists and Stonefoots, the Blacklocks and Stiffbeards, and two clans that never got a name.
