Etymology
In the Etymologies, the name Boromir is discussed under the root BOR. The name is said to be a Noldorin form derived from Old Noldorin Boronmíro, being originally an Elvish name borne by Gnomes in Valinor. The first element related to Old Noldorin boron ("steadfast, trusty man, faithful vassal").[4] The ending -mir, derived from root MIR (a root yielding derivatives meaning "jewel, precious thing, treasure"), related to Old Noldorin mîre.[4][5] According to the framework of the Etymologies, the name Boromir would thus likely mean "faithful jewel".[6][7]
The Appendices to The Lord of the Rings give a slightly different etymology for the name of Boromir, son of Denethor, mentioning it as being Gondor Sindarin.[8] See Boromir: Etymology.
Other versions of the Legendarium
The first bearer of the name Boromir in the early versions of the legendarium was the character later named Borlach.[9][10]
