ard-galen

place name. Green Region

The plain lying to the south of Angband, later named Anfauglith after it was desolated by the forces of Morgoth. The name was translated “Green Region” (WJ/113). Its second element galen is clearly the lenited form of calen “green”, and its initial element is probably some variation of gardh “region” (in early writings, N. ardh), as indicated by by the form Arðgalen in notes from around 1962 (PE17/133), hat-tip to Vyacheslav Stepanov for this reference.

Conceptual Development: In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, this region was named Bladorion of unclear meaning (LR/117); though it may be related to G. bladwen “plain”. In Silmarillion revisions from the 1950s-60s, it was renamed Ard-galen (WJ/113).

eryn galen

place name. Greenwood

The name of the great eastern forest before it became Mirkwood, translated “Greenwood” (UT/281). This name is a combination of eryn “woods” and the lenited form galen of calen “green”. With its restoration after the War of the Ring, Mirkwood was renamed to Eryn Lasgalen “Wood of Greenleaves”.

parth galen

place name. Green Sward

Field by the shore of Nen Hithoel glossed “Green Sward” (LotR/417, RC/349), a combination of parth “sward” and the lenited form of calen “green”.

Conceptual Development: In Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s, Tolkien considered several names for this field, first N. Kelufain and Forfain revised to Calenbel >> N. Calembel (TI/371, TI/382). The name Calembel went through a number of revision starting with Cale(m)- before Tolkien settled on Parth Galen (WR/301, 307). Later, the name S. Calembel was reused for a town in Gondor (LotR/790).

tol galen

place name. Green Isle

An island in the river Adurant translated “Green Isle” (S/123), a combination of tol(l) “island” and the lenited form of calen “green” (SA/tol, calen).

Conceptual Development: The name N. Tol-galen also appeared in Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s (LR/305) and at one point in Lord of the Rings drafts from the 1940s was considered as name for Tol Brandir (TI/271).
