Hi unicornwolf, welcome to the forum! I'm moving this to the Imladris (the language section), where you can find members who know a lot about Elvish. They can probably help you out :)

Eline is as far as I know a short form of Helene which means bright.

In Sindarin bright means faen. So you have the possibilities:

Faen (without female suffix, cause the most would assign bright one as the meaning of a female name)

Faenwen (with the female suffix -wen)

Faeneth (with the female suffix -eth)

Faeniel (with the female suffix -iel (which can mean daughter, too)

Faendis (with the female suffix -(n)dis)

In Quenya bright means Calina. So you have the possibilities:

Calina

Calinawen

Calinareth

Calinandis

Calinariel (I´m not shure if that´s right)

I hope this will help you.

The sound -th- does not occur in Exilic Quenya though [except if you adhere to Feanor's ideals about this].

A similar sound represented by 'thorn' existed in older Quenya, but this became s. Miriel Serinde was called Therinde by Feanor for example [who would not accept the change). Technically it would be þerinde (this -th- sound, represented by the letter thorn, was made with the tongue behind the upper teeth, not 'between' the teeth).

Sauron also hails from older þaurondo.
