Asgar in Noldorin means "rushing" or "impetuous", derived from root A-SKAR.

In Eriol's Old English translations, Ascar is referred to as Baening. Christopher Tolkien tentatively interpreted the O.E. name as "river filled with bones (of the Dwarves)", but doubted that it was his father's intended meaning.
