When I saw the name storm Éowyn I thought it was just another Eoin / Ioan / Euan etc, but apparently it's a Tolkien creation and he was a professor in this stuff so I assume I'm wrong. Is there anyone on here who can explain why it's not a John but an original creation?

She's from a whole family of Éo- names (Éomer, Éomund, etc.)—so definitely distinct from your forms of John
