He is also referred to as ''Lord of Lothlórien'' or ''Lord of the Wood'' interchangeably. Within Lothlórien itself he is called simply ''Lord Celeborn'' or ''The Lord'' (more often with Galadriel as ''The Lord and Lady''). He is called ''Celeborn the Wise'' by ]. |

===Literature=== |
|
|
Celeborn first appears in '']''. He also appears briefly in Tolkien's (at the time unpublished) existing legends of the ], '']''; in chapters 13, 22, 24 and also "]". Tolkien felt that an Elf of Celeborn's importance should have noble ancestry, and spent several years trying to resolve his origins. |
|
|
|
|
|
Most existing writings portray Celeborn as a ] from ], the kingdom of ]. In one speculative text by Tolkien, published in '']'',<ref>{{ME-ref|UT|p. 233–4}}</ref> Celeborn is the grandson of Thingol's younger brother ] (who appears nowhere else). That Celeborn and Thingol are related is suggested by their silver hair, a colour associated with the House of ] and ] and rarely mentioned outside of the royal house of the Sindar. ], mother of ], also has silver hair, as did ], daughter of Olwë and mother of Galadriel. This Sindarin origin for Celeborn was adopted by ] for ''The Silmarillion'', which describes Celeborn as "a kinsman of Thingol" and adds a paragraph about Celeborn's marriage to Galadriel.<ref>{{ME-ref|Sil|p. 234, 321}}</ref> |
|
|
|
|
|
Late in his life Tolkien proposed a different scenario (also described in '']''): Celeborn was a ]n Elf from ], the grandson of Olwë, named '''''Teleporno''''' in ]. (This brings him closer to being a peer and equal of Galadriel and makes their partnership more balanced.) He met Galadriel when she was living in the Telerin city ], before the rebellion of the ]. They decided to travel together to ], without asking permission from the ] to do so. They made their way to Middle-earth independently of Fëanor, and in some versions of the story Galadriel fell under the Ban of the Valar, in other versions not. Tolkien never mentions the Ban applying to Celeborn. According to this narrative, the name ''Teleporno'' was "Sindarized" as ''Celeborn'': Telerin ''telpe'' ("silver") (Noldorin Quenya ''tyelpe'') was translated to Sindarin ''keleb'' (or ''celeb''). |
|
|
|
|
|
This altered origin was not adopted in the published ''Silmarillion'', primarily because it would have necessitated a major rewrite of the earlier parts to account for a separate departure of Galadriel. A further problem was that this descent would have made Celeborn Galadriel's first cousin, and Elves never married close kin. |
|
|
|
|
|
Early in the ], Celeborn apparently ruled over Elves in ]. Celeborn and Galadriel later rule over the Elves of ] (at least in some accounts), before settling in Lothlórien. |
|
|
|
|
|
At the end of the ] Celeborn crossed the ] with many elves of Lothlórien to found "East Lórien". When Galadriel left Middle-earth shortly afterward, Celeborn settled in ] to join his grandsons ]. The prologue to ''The Fellowship of the Ring'' states that "there is no record of the day when at last he sought the Grey Havens, and with him went the last living memory of the ] in Middle-earth".<ref>{{ME-ref|FotR|"Prologue", p. 25}}</ref> |

===Portrayal in adaptations=== |

In ]'s '']'', Celeborn was voiced by ] and his name was pronounced "seleborn" as opposed to "keleborn". |

|

In ]'s ], Celeborn is played by New Zealand actor ]. In Jackson's adaptation of '']'', he joins ], ], ], ] and ] on the ship to ], which does not occur in Tolkien's ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
In the video game '']'', Celeborn appears in both the Good and Evil Campaigns, being one of the many casualties of the forest of ], along with ], as it is burned to the ground and captured, while Galadriel flees to ], when the ] attacks with his ] forces. |

==Names and titles== |
|
|
The name ''Celeborn'' means "silver tree", combining two elements: "celeb" meaning "silver" and "orne" meaning "tree". Another interpretation reads this as "silver-tall" (referring to his silver hair and his height), where "orn" is originated from "orna" meaning "tall".<ref>{{ME-ref|UT|Appendix E, "The Names of Celeborn and Galadriel", p. 266-67; "Númenórean Linear Measures", p. 286}}.</ref> |
|
|
|
|
|
Celeborn is referred to by other names, including ''Teleporno'' (the Telerin version of ''Celeborn''), "Prince of Doriath", "Celeborn the Wise" (a name given him by Galadriel, as she said he was the wisest of the Elves in Middle-earth),<ref>{{ME-ref|FotR|"The Mirror of Galadriel," p. 371}}</ref> and "Lord of Lothlórien" or "Lord of the Wood". |
