What's in a Name?

It appears my handle is also a local monicker for this wee plant. It also appears it might possibly mean something in Tagalog.
It's actually a Quenya word I coined, obscenely combining two words in a fashion typical of both myself and Quenya. Huinë (gloom/shadow/something like that) + Nárë (flame/fire/what-have-you). Huinárë = shadowfire/gloomflame/something-paradoxical-along-these-lines. I fashioned it to describe the ambience in Melkor's fireplace in one of my inspired fictionambulations. Yes, I named myself after something in Melkor's fireplace. Is anyone legitimately surprised?
