The Serni was a short river of southern Gondor; it rose beneath the eastern White Mountains, and flowed southwestward through Lebennin until it met the River Gilrain at Linhir.[1]
Etymology
The name Serni is an "adjectival formation" deriving from Sindarin sarn ("small stone, pebble").[2][3] The meaning is therefore "stony".[4]
The name of the river is spelled Serni in the maps of The Lord of the Rings. In the footnote 1 of the Preface of The Adventures of Tom Bombadil it is spelled Sernui.[5]
