Iathrim
The Iathrim or Elves of Doriath were those Sindar that lived in the broad forests of central Beleriand, Neldoreth, and Region, under the Kingship of Elu Thingol and later Dior Eluchíl. These people, whose Queen was of the order of the Maiar and whose King was the High King of the Sindar, were held to be the highest and noblest of the Grey-elven kindred.
The Marchwardens were those Elves assigned to guarding the borders of the forest of Doriath.
After the Ruin of Doriath, Elwing led the survivors to the Mouths of Sirion.
Etymology
Iathrim is Sindarin for "People of the Fence", as is a compound of iath ("fence") and the class-plural suffix -rim.
Other versions of the legendarium
In the Book of Lost Tales elves of Artanor (Doriath) are called Woodland Elves, as well as Woodelves, Elves of the wood(land) or Elves of the forest. On the First 'Silmarillion' Map elves of Doriath are called Wood-elves.
