Written without capital letters, it is indeed ëarendil, but as soon as the E becomes capital, the diaeresis moves to the next letter as unlike in German (where the diaeresis actually change the letter), in most languages (like also in French), additive signs over capital letters are quite uncommon
The diaeresis here simply underlines the fact that e-a has to be pronounced as two different letters (which is logical anyways), so it doesn't matter whether the dots are above e or a.

Same for ëol > Eöl etc
