Mairen's name is difficult to translate, but may be [[Quenya]] for "Maiden of the Gulls" (from ''[[maiwë]]'' = "gull" and ''-[[wen]]'' = "maiden").
==Etymology==
Mairen's name is not translated, but probably means "the Good". Cf. [[Sauron]]'s original name, ''Mairon'', which means "admirable" or "excellent."
