But to say Gilitiro is a son of Olwe is to bold a statement in view of what we know.

Just so that you and everyone else has the full context, here's the full passage from PE 23, p. 143:

[...] names and titles and patronymics, as Galadriel Hiril, the Lady Galadriel; Elbereth Gilthoniel; Celeborn Gildírion, C. son of Gildír (Sindarized form of his father’s Telerin name Gilitīro ‘starwatcher’).
