So... I'm brand spankin' new to these forums and still learning the lay of the land, so I apologize if I've stuck this question in the wrong forum.

Essentially, I need help with creating a last name for one of my Elf characters, and my Elvish is a bit rusty. I'd want the name to mean born of steel, or born of the forge; a character who aws born and grew up amidst the making of weapons.

Any ideas? I know there has to be some cool way to say this in an Elvish last name. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I could put the two together to get something along the lines of Taminost... or forge-born if I'm correct... which I'm not sure I am.

If anybody wants to put in their two-cents it would be a huge help!
