argon

masculine name. Argon

Hypothetical Sindarin name of Q. Aracáno, who died soon after reaching Middle-earth (PM/345). A similar name Argond appeared as the cognate of Q. Aracondo, an unused name of Turgon (PE17/113). This name is probably a combination of the prefix ar(a)- “noble” and the suffix -gon “lord” seen in names like Fingon and Turgon (PM/345).
