Field of Cormallen
From Tolkien Gateway
Field of Cormallen was a tree-lined field in North Ithilien, on the banks of the Anduin near to Cair Andros. It was here that Frodo and Sam were received after they achieved the Quest of Mount Doom, and praised with great praise.
Etymology
The name means "golden ring" (cor + mallen).
Gondor Sindarin in compounds retained the spirant. Thus in the case of the former, malt ("gold") and ending -en became *mallen, in Gondor this remained malthen.[1] [2]
