Sam Gamgee first came across it in Lórien, and named his eldest daughter, Elanor Gamgee, from it. Notes 1 The name elanor is conventionally translated as 'Sun-star', though actually this reverses the elements of the name. The word combines el, 'star' and anor 'Sun', so a strictly literal (though rather less euphonic) translation would be 'star-Sun'. See also...
