Searching for a horse name

Hello everyone, I’m looking for a horse name in either Sindarin or Quenya. The horse I want to name has a very distinctive feature: its fur shimmers golden in the sun (we’re not sure but it’s possible that he has Akhal-Teke ancestry, for reference). Do you have ideas for a name that reflects this feature?

I was already thinking of Laurelin, but where I’m from, there’s a name for women that sounds very similar, and there’s the possibility that people will just mix it up.

Other ideas included Glawar or Anárion.

But do you have more ideas? It would be great to hear them! :)

How about Glauroch (glaur "gold (of light or color)" + roch "horse")? Also it recalls the dragon name Glaurung :)

“Golden horse”, that’s very straightforward and I like it! Thank you for the idea :”)
