Legolas Origin and Meaning

The name Legolas is a boy's name meaning "green leaves".

Derived from J. R.R. Tolkien's fictional language of Sindarin, Legolas is a nature name and a literary creation, borne by an elf in The Lord of the Rings. A member of the Fellowship and an excellent bowman, his name hasn't caught on in the same way Arwen, Eowyn, Peregrin, Theoden, amd Elanor have.

Nevertheless, it has ranked in the US stats three times, in 2003, 2015, and 2018 and has been received by at least 18 babies.
