Elf clad in green and brown, Legolas, a messenger from his father, Thranduil, the King of the Elves of Northern Mirkwood.
His name:
Legolas is a 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.' 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 las 'leaf', can be distinguished, itself a derivative of the High Elven lasse. The High Elven form of golas is olassië.
