S. Glóredhel f. “*Golden Elf”

S. Glóredhel, f. “*Golden Elf”

Daughter of Hador (S/158). Her name is a combination of glaur “gold” and Edhel “Elf” (SA/edhel, laurë).

Conceptual Development: In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, her name was first given as Glorwendil and Glorwendel, of unclear meaning (LR/310, 314).
