You should be able to tell from the look of the names: Elwing is the "girl".
Have you ever read LoTR? Check out the Council of Elrond chapter, where Elrond states his lineage.

Or the index in the back of the Silm: "Elwing: daughter of Dior, who escaping from Doriath with the Silmaril wedded Eärendil....."

Yup, I just read that today Ellemire. And Durin. I have read all of the LOTR books.

Nah, it's still a good place for Elwing and Earendil-related discussion.
 What was Elwing's heritage? Is she partly Maia?
