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.
~wikipedia i always thought his name was Legolas Greenleaf how wrong i was... I recentley watched all of the films and fell in love with legolas (not Orlando bloom...just Legolas)
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
i always watch films!! i'd get so bored without them...and i read quite a lot when i do have stuff to read...although i'm very picky so i dont end to read many recomended books...my sister's been trying to get me to read one book for about five years his book is about demons and people fighting them and magical spheres of power and stuff...tis rather confusing,...
I don't really have many to watch, I just cure boredom on the computer I'm pretty picky with books too, but I like the one I'm reading just now Ooo, sounds interesting...
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
