Not necessarily: as I said, it could have a figurative tribal sense like OE -lingas.
I can't imagine that Tolkien really meant to have a Noldorin royal pop up in the Woody End, and then make no more mention of him! In which case the name must have some alternate significance than biological son of Felagund.
