The true Sindarin form of Nan. Legolas, a combination of laeg “green” and the lenited form of golas “foliage” (Let/282, PE17/56). In some places this name also appeared as S. Legolas with the diphthong [ae] reduced to [e] in the compound, (P17/84, 159), but the exact mechanism for this is unclear.

Conceptual Development: See Nan. Legolas for the earlier developments of this name.
