'''Celepharn''' ([[Sindarin|S]], pron. {{IPA|[keˈlep.harn]}}; {{TA|979}}<ref>{{PM|Elendil}}, p. 193</ref> - {{TA|1191|n}},<ref name="North">{{App|North}}</ref> died aged 212) was the fourth [[King of Arthedain]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
Celepharn was the son of [[Mallor]], and he came to the throne of [[Arthedain]] upon the death of his father in {{TA|1110|n}}.<ref name="North"/><br />
<br />
During his reign, circa {{TA|1150|n}}, more [[Hobbits]] entered [[Eriador]] and the lands of [[Arnor]] from [[Wilderland]]. Most of these were [[Fallohides]] and [[Stoors]] (who came over the [[Redhorn Pass]] and settled mainly in [[Dunland]] and the [[Angle of Eriador|Angle]]), joining the [[Harfoots]] who had come earlier during the time of Celepharn's father [[Mallor]].<ref>{{App|TA}}</ref><br />
<br />
During Celepharn's rule the Southern Kingdom, [[Gondor]], reached the height of its power under [[Atanatar II|Atanatar II Alcarin]].<ref>{{App|South}}</ref><br />
<br />
Celepharn ruled Arthedain for eighty-one years, and was succeeded by his son, [[Celebrindor]], upon his death in {{TA|1191|n}}.<ref name="North"/><br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
The etymology of Celepharn's name is unknown. The most likely meaning would be "silver rock" from ''[[celeb]]'' and ''[[sarn]]''.{{fact}} In that case the name should be pronounced as {{IPA|[keˈlep.harn]}} and not as **{{IPA|[keˈlefarn]}}.<br />
