As Votary Nahlia said in one of the dialogues, what does Sunnamere exactly mean?

"Sunnamere. I wonder what it means? I never gave it a second thought before."

    It's Aldmer, or Altmer in origin. Didn't they say it was underneath the Mage's Guild Hall in Sunhold?

    Does it mean "under the SunHold"?

    All I can find is this (from https://elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/66257)
    Dame Nahlia,

    Why is it that the Mages Guild believes Sunnamere is only roughly a thousand years older than the Mages Guild, placing it in the third millennium of the First Era, even though its architecture is supposedly ancient Aldmeri.

    Kind regards,

    Sunnamere’s role in the whole “discovering the Scholarium” tale has made it mildly famous across the guild. Which is a change, since previously it was best known for being drafty, moldy, and awkward to staff because of the problems up in Sunhold. Sunnamere as a site absolutely predates the First Era. I’m not actually sure when it was built? But it was long before Ulfsild’s time.

    "Sunna" definitively means "blessed" in Ayleidoon (as well as Dunmeri, btw).

    For "mere", I'd have to look up if there's already some other term which we have a translation for.
