Narvinyë (Narwain in Sindarin) was the first month of the year in the Kings' and Stewards' Reckoning. In both calendars, Narvinyë followed the first day of the year, yestarë, preceded the month of Nénimë, and was 30 days long, lasting from the 2nd through the 31st days of the year. In the New Reckoning it was the ninth month of the year, immediately following Ringarë.[1]
Narvinyë was approximately equivalent to modern January, though in fact running from modern 23 December to 21 January. Its name meant 'new year' (or, literally, 'new sun').
