mothers-name Tyelkormo), called the Fair, held the region of Himlad with his brother
Curufin,
went to Nargothrond after the Dagor Bragollach, where they opposed Finrod
and got the leadership for a while. Celegorm then imprisoned Luthien,after
which Huan left Celegorm who had been his master. Eventually slain by
Dior in the onslaught of Menegroth.
Reference: Silmarillion
Celegorm in Quenya is Turkafinwe "strong,powerful".
His mother name, Tyelkormo, means
"hasty riser", as a reference to his quick temper.
