i usually go with jokes that nobody but me understands so i can crack myself up alone...
a bunch of non canon sources include maira as the aldmeris word for moon, probably derived from the real world rare byname of selene and sil being light.
in the greek mythos also includes it as "sparkling", a sea nymph - daughter of the sea god(s) and some other kekw about dogs being turned into constellations. hebrew maeras need not apply

so tl;dr:
big nested joke about moonlight pale freckles sailor...

so just figure out what you want to do with the dunmer and then cobble something with meaning together from the dictionary kek
