Elves, or an elf, is are portrayed as long-lived or immortal beings of magical powers. Following J. R. R. Tolkien's influential The Lord of the Rings, wherein a wise, immortal people named Elves have a significant role, elves became staple characters of modern fantasy.
The word Elf comes from norse word Alf. This becomes confusing, as Alf meant fairies. This means that sometimes, elves (and dwarves) are classified as fairies and in some cases, as spirits, and In some specific cases, as creatures related to deities. The classification as fairies is sometimes accepted, but can become contradictory, mainly because fairies are considered nymphs, and they are just female nymphs, while some people think there are male fairies, elves have gender differentiation and in some cases, they are just called male dwarves (barely ever). Elves are also called Elfs, although these two things are slightly different.
