Other versions of the Legendarium
In early versions of the legendarium, he was called Borlas[3] (a name later used for Borlas of Pen-arduin).
Etymology
Early versions of the name were directly tied to the root BOR-, signifying loyalty. The meaning of the second element of the final name has not been explained. The earlier name Borlas contained glass, "joy".[4]
