Though the meaning of this ancient name is unclear, we do have an etymological note that links its ending -on to the Sindarin word for 'region', and indicating that original form may have been Lamedond. The element lamed- remains obscure.
Calembel, Lord of Lamedon, Morthond Vale, Outlands, Ringló Vale, River Ciril, River Ringló, Tarlang’s Neck, Western Gondor, White Mountains
