Question by cc_henson: English to latin Translation for “Mystic Glen”?
I have a group I want to name “Mystic Glen” but I want the name in Latin. I know Mystic is “Mysticus” and Glen is “Dena” but I am not sure the which order they should appear in and if there should be anything else to present the name correctly

The first poster is on the money. Dena Mysticam. Literally meaning the mystical glen…dena subject and mysticam the object of dena which is feminine ..so object has to be feminine also. Sweet!

Both of the previous posters are wrong. I currently translate Latin as my job. “Mystic Glen” in Latin is “Dena Mystica.” The adjective must agree with the noun. Since “Dena” is a subject in the nominative form, “mystica” must also be a subject in the nominative form.
The first two posters are wrong (I see the first one wised up and deleted her answer!) – the adjective must modify the noun in the same case. If the cases do not match, then it means that the adjective is modifying something else.
However, I was unable to find the word ‘dena’ in Latin – it does not appear to be an actual word. The word for glen is vallicula. So Vallicula Mystica is the translation for Mystic Glen.
I agree you could have “vallicula mystica”
Other related words for “dell”, “valley” are
“convallis” or “valles” which you could substitute.
There is a word dena (from “deni” , meaning “ten each”) but
that is a long way from being a glen!
