S. Harondor loc. “Southern Gondor”
The Sindarin name of South Gondor, which appears on the 1st Edition maps for
The Lord of the Rings from 1954 (RC/lxiii), but only in its English translation in later
Lord of the Rings maps (1980 forward). This region was once a province of Gondor, but became a disputed region when Umbar broke free of Gondorian
rule. It is a compound of the prefixal form
har- of
harn “south” and the lenited form of
Gondor.
