When they named the Hobbits and such, they referred to them as: Frodo, son of Drogo, Araogorn, son of Arathorn, gimli son of Gloín and stuff like that. But that is not the case with the elves and orcs. It's true that there are not many fameous orcs in lord of the rings, so that might explain that part, but why is legolas referred to as: Legolas of the woodland realm and not legolas son of Thrandhuil?

Did it had something to do with the age of elves? I doubt it since they found famely bonds rather important.
