Narvi (mid-Second Age) was a great Dwarven craftsman.[1]
History
Narvi lived in Khazad-dûm during the height of its glory. He formed a friendship with the Elf-lord Celebrimbor, the master artificer of neighboring Eregion. Together they made the mighty Doors of Durin that guarded the West-gate of the Dwarven city.[1][2]
Etymology
In drafts of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien used the spelling Narf[i].[3] Narfi is an Old Norse name and character appearing in the Prose Edda (there also spelled Narvi), and the meaning of the name is unknown.[4]
Possibly the name is provided as a translation of the Dwarf's "outer" name from some Mannish language of the Northmen of the Second Age.[5][6]
Other versions of the Legendarium
In a linguistic manuscript, Tolkien placed the character Narvi at an earlier time in the history of Arda (apparently because of linguistic considerations), "before Durin's death".[7]
