The Language of names

I have two questions about what Language the names in the books are.

1. Of the half elves before Elrond and Elros decision, how were they named? I ask because I know that the name Earendul is Anglo-Saxon the precusor of the tongues of men.

2. How would one tell the difference between Quena names and Sindarin names for Elves. I do know that those female names with the ending "wen" are Sindarin.


I apologize for any misspelling of Middle Earth words.
