Elianna has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

Tarien,
About Legolas: It is a bit interesting that 'leg' is part of Legolas' name, but I doubt that Tolkien was thinking that when he named the elf prince. His name is translated for us and means 'green-leaf'. This is why Galadriel calls him 'Legolas Greenleaf' in her warning to him about the sea; Greenleaf is NOT his last name.

And I don't think he particularly (sp?) perferred walking. He seemed happy enough with Arod.
