Emeldir the Manhearted (born F.A. 406) was the wife of Barahir and the mother of Beren Erchamion.[1] After the Dagor Bragollach, when Barahir and Beren became outlaws, Emeldir (who would have preferred to stay with them to fight) led the women and children in Dorthonion from their homes through many hardships to Brethil.[2]
Etymology
Patrick H. Wynne has suggested that Emeldir possibly consists of Sindarin emel ("mother") + dir ("man"), yielding a hypothetical translation "manly-mother" or "mother with manly courage" (close in meaning to her epithet the Manhearted).[3]
