The Calaquendi (singular Calaquendë) are the Elves of the Light, and refers to those that reached Valinor and dwelt there ever after or for some time.
Distinction 
Edit
The Calaquendi included the Vanyar, Ñoldor, and those Teleri who passed over Belegaer, as well as the Sindarin king Thingol alone of all his people. Another name for them was Amanyar (with the exception of Thingol, who was not of the Amanyar), meaning "Those of Aman". The kindreds who settled in Aman, and their descendants, were also referred to as "High Elves", or Tareldar.
Those Elves who refused the summons of the Valar or did not complete the Great Journey to Valinor were named instead the Úmanyar, meaning "Not of Aman", and Moriquendi, or "Dark Elves" (those who had not seen the Light).
