Other versions of the Legendarium

In the Later Annals of Beleriand and the Grey Annals, the name of the character was Boromir,[3][4] a name later used for Boromir of Ladros.[5][6] The Boromir referred to in the Etymologies (cf. Boromir of Ladros: Etymology) is thus Borlach.[7][8]

Etymology

Early versions of the name were directly tied to the root BOR-, signifying loyalty.[9]
