"Sigelwara Land" is an essay by J. R. R. Tolkien that appeared in two parts, in 1932 and 1934. It explores the etymology of the Old English word for the ancient Aethiopians, Sigelhearwan, and attempts to recover what it might originally have meant. Tolkien suggested that its two elements were most likely sun/jewel and coal/hearth, perhaps meaning something like a soot-black fire-demon.

Tolkien concluyó que, mientras que el significado del primer elemento era evidentemente sigel- («Sol»), el significado del segundo elemento -hearwan no era recuperable: A symbol [...] of that large part of ancient English language and lore which has now vanished beyond recall, swa hit no wære. Un símbolo [...] de la gran parte del antiguo idioma y conocimiento ingleses que se han desvanecido más allá de toda posibilidad de recuperación, swa hit no wære. (es)
- "Sigelwara Land" is an essay by J. R. R. Tolkien that appeared in two parts, in 1932 and 1934.

Tolkien suggested that its two elements were most likely sun/jewel and coal/hearth, perhaps meaning something like a soot-black fire-demon. The Tolkien scholar and philologist Tom Shippey suggests that Tolkien's detailed study of the word may have influenced him in his creation of elements of his fantasy world of Middle-earth, including the Silmarils or forged sun-jewels, the Balrogs or dark fire-demons, and the Haradrim, men of the hot south.
