А как до этого звали Маблунга, неизвестно. Толкин, правда, указывает два варианта: "...the hand [of Beren] and jewel seemed to have so great a weight that Mablung's own hand was dragged earthward and forced open, letting the other fall to the ground. It was said that Mablung's name ('with weighted hand') was prophetic; but it may have been a title derived from the episode that afterwards became the one that the hero was chiefly remembered by in legend. ". (HoME vol. IV, Quenta Silmarillion, комментарии к главе 13).
Второй вариант кажется более вероятным, учитывая более поздние данные об именах-epesse.
Ingold? Это не единственный вариант (есть ещё Elfstone), но, кажется, имеется в виду именно он.
