I don't believe that Legolas was named after the river Legolin, though it is funny you mention that passage because that is where I am in my third reading of the Silmarillion. Legolas' name means Greenleaf. Lin means pool or mere. Lin- means music. since in Legolin, lin isn't a prefix, the name means green pool or green mere. Or i guess in this case, green river.
