Etymology[]
- The surname Oliphant is derived from an archaic English word for "elephant." J.R.R. Tolkien included huge, elephant-like creatures known asoliphaunts in his novelThe Lord of the Rings.
- The name Gondoline is perhaps a further nod to Tolkien: in theSilmarillion, there was an Elven city called Gondolin, which remained hidden for centuries before being destroyed.
