Etymology
The exact meaning is unclear, but is tied to the root BOR- ("loyalty")[3] adding the word lach ("flame").
Other versions of the legendarium
In the Later Annals of Beleriand and the Grey Annals, the name of the character was Boromir,[4][5] a name later used for Boromir of Ladros.[6][7] The Boromir referred to in the Etymologies (cf. Boromir of Ladros: Etymology) is thus Borlach.[8][9] In the appendix of The Lost Road it states that Borlach (then called Boromir) was born in the year 145.[10]
