Artist History Erain was started in 2001. The name was adapted from the Elven Language created by J.R.R. Tolkien. It means "Kings". The original idea was to name it "Lindelė a Erain", which stands for "Melodious Kings", but that what kinda bandname is THAT?Why Kings? Because my last name is Koning, which means King. So it's a nice Elvish translation of my name. But why Kings instead of King? Because I'm hoping to cooperate a lot with other artists like vocalists, and thus they are part of the band too: KingS.The 'ai' in Erain isn't pronounced as in the word RAIN, but as the 'y' in Rhyme.
