Lethuin was a Silvan Elf of the Woodland Realm in the Hobbit films, portrayed by Eli Kent.

Etymology[edit | edit source]
Lethuin is an anagram of the name LĂșthien, which is similar to how other background characters were given names of that nature throughout the Peter Jackson films.[source?] However, there is no actual background or etymology behind it.
