I don't remember Tinuviel from any Greek mythology, and unless you can prove otherwise, I'm inclined to thinking you're BSing me. Here's why:

No greek words (including names) end in a Lambda or "L" sound It's always a vowel or Sigma or Nu.

Ancient Greek has no "V" sound.

So the name is obviously not Greek.

It's actually "Nightengale" in one of the Elvish languages Tolkein was making up with his more-abundant-than-is-healthy spare time.
