macalaurë

masculine name. Forging Gold

The mother-name of S. Maglor, from which his Sindarin name is derived (PM/353). This name is a compound of the root √MAK “forge metal” and laurë “gold” (VT41/10).

Conceptual Development: In The Etymologies from the 1930s, ᴹQ. Makalaure “Gold-cleaver” appeared as the Quenya form of N. Maglor (Ety/MAK), though in this period, Maglor would have been his birth name since the native language of the Noldor was Noldorin.
