Tarcil
From Tolkien Gateway
Template:Royalty infobox Tarcil (T.A. 260 – 515, aged 235 years) was the son and heir of Arantar of Arnor, and the great-great-grandson of Isildur himself. Tarcil was the sixth King to rule the North-kingdom, his reign lasted for eighty years (T.A. 435 - 515) and was, as far as we know, uneventful. He was succeeded by his son Tarondor on his death.
The name Tarcil (also spelt Tarkil) also appears in The History of The Lord of the Rings as another nickname for Aragorn: its meaning is apparently "High Man", a synonym for Dúnadan. The Orkish term "tark" for a Dúnadan is without doubt derived from this.
