So I was doing some LOtR research because of course and a lot of people put Legolas’ last name down as Greenleaf. I got curious, and so i looked it up, and the word “Legolas” literally means Greenleaf.

Legolas is “Greenleaf Greenleaf.”

Legolas is Moon Moon

elves actually don’t have last names in LOTR. just in case anyone was confused if this was a fandom thing or a canon mishap.
