There are all sorts of unique names in “The Lord of the Rings”. One rather unknown but hilarious name has been overlooked: the Elvish name of Celeborn.

Amazon’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” revolves around the rise of Sauron and the forging of the Rings of Power. Galadriel, Elrond the High King Gil-galad and other peoples of Middle Earth prepare to fight against evil.
The series is set in the Second Age and at this time Galadriel is already married to Celeborn. Tolkien experts and fans of the “Lord of the Rings” films are of course familiar with the elf and may be relieved that the fantasy series sticks to Tolkien’s original.
In Tolkien’s world, many characters have multiple names. For example, Gandalf’s name in Elvish is Mithrandir and his Maia name is Olórin. While Gandalf’s names are comparatively easy to pronounce and, above all, have a good sound, an elf is not quite so blessed…
We are talking about Teleporno. That doesn’t mean anything to you? You may know him under the name Celeborn, played by Marton Csokas in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
Teleporno: The meaning behind the name
The name Teleporno comes from the Elvish language Quenya and means the Silver High. The name Celeborn is Sindarin, another Elvish language, and means High silver or Silver tree. It signals the elves’ closeness to nature, which is especially fitting for Celeborn.
Together with Galadriel (Cate Blanchett in the films, Morfydd Clark in “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”), Celeborn rules over the woodland kingdom of Lothlórien. Surrounded by silvery shining trees, the Silver High One is certainly in good company.
Teleporno, alias Celeborn, will also appear in the upcoming season of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”. Calam Lynch has been confirmed as the actor. We know the actor from “Bridgerton” and “Black Beauty”.
Fans find the name hilarious!
On the Internet, Tolkien fans naturally find the name Teleporno funny and have created numerous memes about the character. On Reddit, the one or other good memes. Also on Instagram or other social media channels.
Teleporno is not the only funny name in Tolkien’s works. Frodo should actually have another name that is much more amusing than Frodo Beutlin is.
