 Rings

Did the Rings have names?


From: Erik Tracy

We only know that the Three Elven Rings had their own proper names:
    Narya (Fire);
    also known as the Ring of Fire or the Red Ring, and by one obscure reference as the Kindler
    [The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien#301].

    Nenya (Water);
    also known as the Ring of Adamant or the White Ring, also called chief of the Three
    [Unfinished Tales].

    Vilya (Air);
    also known as the Ring of Sapphire or the Ring of Air, also called mightiest of the Three
    [The Return of the King].
Sauron's ring had no proper name, but was referred to by many names: the One Ring, the Ruling Ring, Sauron's Ring, or the Great Ring of Power.

The dwarven rings and those of the Nazgûl are only known collectively as the Seven and the Nine, and if they had each their own proper name they are not known.
