Biography
Sindarin elf of the woodland realm, in the year 3019, Legolas journeyed to Rivendell to sit on the Council of Elrond, and was chosen to represent the Elves in the Fellowship. In Lorien, Legolas and Gimli became close friends, a friendship that lasted the rest of their lives. Legolas' keen sight and archery skills were his greatest asset to the Fellowship. After the Breaking of the Fellowship, Legolas went with Gimli and Aragorn in search of Merry and Pippin, and fought in the battle of Hornburg. He eventually went to Gondor, and fought in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields; while in Gondor, he had his first glimpse of the sea, and was overcome by a deep desire to sail from that moment on. After the War of the Ring, he journeyed with Gimli to visit the Glittering Caves and Fangorn Forest. In the Year 120 FO, after the death of Aragorn, Legolas sailed over the sea, taking Gimli the dwarf with him, the last of the Fellowship.
His Name
Legolas is a dialectal name of the Woodland Elves. The Woodland Elves are of the Sindar stock and the pure Sindarin form of his name is Laegolas.
'Legolas' is composed of leg 'green', a dialectal form of Sindarin laeg; and Sindarin golas/-olas 'collection of leaves, foliage.' I guess because of the 'g' at the end of leg and the one at the beginning of golas, in Legolas' name, the form -olas is applied. The meaning is thus: 'green-leaves' (or 'green collection of leaves', or 'green foliage'). In golas/-olas, the Sindarin component las 'leaf', can be distinguished, itself a derivative of the High Elven lasse. The High Elven form of golas is olassië. As Tolkien said himself, it is indeed a very suitable name for a Woodland Elf.
