Sindarin name of the lands around the river Celebrant, generally translated “Field of Celebrant” (PM/330, UT/260), a combination of parth “field” and the river name.
Sindarin
parth
noun. field, lawn, sward, garden, enclosed grassland
parth
noun. field, enclosed grassland, sward
parth celebrant
place name. Field of Celebrant
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).

An element in the names S. Parth Celebrant “Field of Celebrant” and S. Parth Galen “Green Sward”, variously translated “field, enclosed grassland” (UT/260), “sward” = “✱field of short grass” (RC/349), “small enclosed field, lawn” (PE23/139), or “garden” (PE23/141). Its etymology is unclear: it might be a derivative of √PAR “arrange”. It may also be a later iteration of N. pathw “level place, sward” < ᴹ√PATH, and is perhaps derived from ✱path-re with metathesis to parth(e).
