Borthand was one of the sons of Bór
History
After following his father into Beleriand, Borthand 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]
Etymology
An early version of the name, Borthandos, was said to come from a word borth-, unlike his father's and brothers' names, which come from BOR-, "loyal". The meaning of borth- is nowhere mentioned.[3]
