Names? - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Legolas · 9th August 2002, 10:51 AM

Did anyone else know that 'peregrination' means to travel a lot? Maybe thats where Tolkien got Peregrine from. cos you know Pippin travelled a lot.

Does anyone else know about the idea behind the names for the characters? Obviouslt the Elves were names after their language Legolas = lasse - leaf, I guess Lego must be green.

:flash:

Alternatively, he could be a kind of Danish building block??

Legolas · 10th August 2002, 02:23 PM

*snort* oh funny.

How do you explain Arwen and Elrond then?

:flash:

kelsi · 13th August 2002, 05:24 PM

A bit off topic, but can someone give me a link to a site which explains elvish names?

Luthy_001 · 13th August 2002, 11:45 PM

I don't have a link but the back of ROTK and The Sil. have the explanations of all the names

kelsi · 22nd August 2002, 12:38 PM

OK, thanks, I'll go look there. I just thought there might be a couple of leading sites that have ALL info relating to LOTR on.

This site (http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/default.htm) has meanings of names when you go to their entry, aswell as a heap of other information.

Legolas · 22nd August 2002, 01:02 PM

Wow thanks Shaun!

Bayleaf48 · 28th August 2002, 11:29 AM
