In J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Galathil is a descendant of Thingol's brother Elmo, and the brother of Celeborn the Lord of Lórien. He is son of Galadhon and grandson of Elmo. His daughter Nimloth wedded Dior, Thingol's Heir, and so Galathil was a distant ancestor of both Elrond, Aragorn, and Arwen[1]. In this way he was grandfather to Elwing and uncle to Celebrían.
