Borin (T.A. 2450 – 2711, aged 261 years) was a dwarf of Durin's folk, the younger son of King Náin II. During his youth, his house lived in the dragon-plagued Grey Mountains where his brother and nephew were slain. Durin's folk then divided, with some journeying back to Lonely Mountain under King Thrór while others followed Grór to the Iron Hills. Borin followed Thrór to the Lonely Mountain and lived there till his death.
Borin was the ancestor of four of the thirteen Dwarves of Thorin and Company (Balin, Dwalin, Óin, and Glóin) and Gimli Elf-friend of the Company of the Ring.[1]
Etymology
Jim Allan has suggested that Borin might be derived from Old Norse bora ("to bore holes"), thus meaning "Borer".[2]
