Originally, Tolkien intended Sindarin Celeborn to mean "Silver-tree", but the etymology "Silver-tall" appears in Tolkien's latest philological writings.[2]
Celeborn, was said in some of the last writings to be a Teler of Valinor named Teleporno, meaning silver-tree instead of a Sinda. It exists also the Telerin form Telepornë.[3]
