Gil-Galad - Sindarin - masculine name: "Starlight", (lit.) Star of Radiance, Last high-king of the Noldor and leader of the elves in the Last Alliance against Sauron at the end of the Second Age (LotR/52). His name is a compound of S. gil "star" and s. galad "radiance, glittering reflection".

Gil-Galad was born as the second pup of the litter of three. When he was born, his fur shone as if he was born of fire and starlight despite his lineage being lilac strong. Thus the name Gil-Galad meaning "Star of Radiance" was given and the name was more than fitting. Many came from far and wide to see His Radiance grow from a confident pup to a bold yet brash adult.
