Borlad was one of the sons of Bór.
History
Borlad, like his father and brothers, entered Beleriand late in the First Age, and entered the service of Maedhros and Maglor.[1] He fought in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and was faithful to the Noldor, taking a part in the slaying of Ulfang's sons before he was himself slain.[2]
Other versions of the Legendarium
In early versions of the legendarium, he was called Borlas[3] (a name later used for Borlas of Pen-arduin).
Etymology
Early versions of the name were directly tied to the root BOR-, signifying loyalty. The meaning of the second element of the final name has not been explained. The earlier name Borlas contained glass, "joy".[4]
