As far as records go, Aranuir's rule was uneventful. Aranuir died in 2247, after having been chieftain for seventy years, and was followed by his son, Aravir.[2]
Etymology
Aranuir is a Sindarin name. Its meaning is not glossed, but the Association Tolkiendil suggests it means "Eternal King".[3] It is probably a compound of aran ("king", "lord", "chief", [lit.] high or noble person) and uir ("eternity").[4][3][5]
Genealogy
Other versions of the legendarium
