My name is Phillip, according to Behindthename.com it is a variant of Philip which says...
From the Greek name Philippos which means "friend of horses", composed of the elements philos "friend" and hippos "horse". Saint Philip was an apostle in the New Testament. This was also the name of an early figure in the Christian church spoken of in Acts in the New Testament. The name was borne by five kings of Spain, six kings of France, and five kings of Macedon, including Philip II the father of Alexander the Great.

By studying the Tolkien language of Quenya, or High-Elven, I was able to derive the name Mairondil.
HORSE rocco (defined as "swift horse for riding" in Letters:382), olombo (but since Tolkien subsequently changed the relevant stem from LOB to LOP, we should perhaps read *olompo), mairo; HORSEMAN roquen (rider, knight) -ROK/Letters:282, 382, VT45:28, GL:56, WJ:372/UT:282

FRIEND málo, meldo (pl meldor is attested). Apparently meldo is a masculine form, corresponding to feminine #meldë (cf. meldenya *"my friend" in the Elaine inscription, Tolkien here referring to Elaine Griffiths). Other words for "friend": nildo (m.), nildë (f.), sermo, seron (m.), sermë (f.), -ser (final element in compounds), -(n)dil (final element in compounds, e.g. Elendil, Anardil, Valandil - sometimes translated "lover" rather than "friend". When the first part of the compound ends in l, n, or r, the n of -ndil is left out). FRIENDLY nilda (lovely), FRIENDSHIP nilmë -MEL, WJ:412 cf. VT45:34, NIL, SER, Letters:386

I could have made up Quenya names such as Roccondil, Roccoser, Olombondil, Olomboser, or Mairoser. Looking at the above Quenya word list entries, I could have built a few other names, but I decided to stick with Mairondil.

Yes, I am one of the world's largest geeks. I researched my and my family's names in the made up ancient language of Lord of the Rings.
