It's a variation of the word "halter," and they named Haldir after it because when he was little, he took horseback lessons, and he ALWAYS had to have a halter on his horse Binky. He had a terrible phobia of bridles, and whenever he saw one would burst into tears and run away screaming. So, as a comfort, his parents named him Halter. He didn't want to be named after a horse's headgear, so he pouted until his mother made it more exotic and therefore he became Haldir.
