Arathorn ('Tree of All Lords'; ar = royal, -ath = collective plural suffice, orn = tree) was the son of Chieftain Arassuil, who led the Northern Dúnedain in his turn. The great-great-grandfather of Aragorn Elessar, he ruled in the North for sixty-four years, and died an untimely death. He was succeeded by his son Argonui.
