The name Legolas is a Sindarian dialect form which means "Greenleaf"; thus, Greenleaf is not his surname but a translation of his name. It consists of the Sindarin words laeg, green; and golas, a collection of leaves.
The only peoples for whom Tolkien uses surnames are Hobbits and the Men of Bree. For other Men and Elves, Tolkien used the patronymic ("son of") formula. In English, therefore, a fuller name would be "Legolas son of Thranduil" or "Legolas Thranduil's son". In Sindarin, that would be Legolas Thranduilion, -ion meaning "son of." However, none of these forms of address appear in the book. The Sindarin patronymic is used in the extended edition of Peter Jackson's film adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring; Haldir addresses Legolas as such when the Fellowship enters Lothlórien, seeking refuge.

What series is it? I never bothered to read the big passage :P Orlando Bloom... What a stupid name...
:iconamy-donkey:
its from lord of the rings...he's an elf the passage basically says what his name is...
:iconfraser243:
Can't say I've ever seen it... We've got an english teacher at school that's rather obsessed with it... I'll read the passage later, and I'll favourite it tomorrow when I can get on a computer :P
:iconamy-donkey:

:iconamy-donkey:
