árë means "day" or "sunlight" in Quenya. Compare with aur in Sindarin.
Example:
- Arien = "Maiden of Sunlight"
History
Árë was the original name of Essë, the thirty-first letter of the Tengwar alphabet. The word árë was first pronounced "ázë", but over time the phonemes for "z" and "r" merged and the letter Árë became superfluous. Hence why Árë was renamed Essë.
