Celepharn

Celepharn was the fourth King of Arthedain.
== Biography ==
Celepharn was the son and heir of King Mallor of Arthedain. He came to the throne in TA 1110 at the death of his father. During his reign, many Hobbits entered Eriador. Most of these were Fallohides and Stoors, joining the Harfoots, who had come earlier during the time of Celepharn's grandfather Beleg.
During Celepharn's rule, the Southern Kingdom, Gondor reached the height of its power under Atanatar II Alcarin. Celepharn died in TA 1191 after ruling for eighty-one years and was succeeded by his son Celebrindor.The Lord of the Rings, Appendix A: Annals of the Kings and Rulers, I: The Númenórean Kings, (iv): "Gondor and the heirs of Anárion"
== Etymology ==
The name Celepharn was Sindarin, but of unknown meaning. It may have come from the words celeb ("silver") and faran or farn which refers to any growing plant.Parma Eldalamberon 17, Words, Phrases and Passages in Various Tongues in The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien If this were so, his name would have meant "silver plant".
Celepharn may otherwise come from celeb ("silver") and sarn (small stone), thus meaning "silver stone".
