Leader of a tribe of Easterlings in Beleriand who were faithful to the Elves and Edain (S/157). His name is simply [N.] bôr “trusty man” used as a name (Ety/BOR). As this name was Sindarin, it was probably not his true name.
Conceptual Development: The name N. Bór first appeared in Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, first written as Bor (LR/147, 291). In The Etymologies from the 1930s, it appeared as a derivative of the root ᴹ√BOR alongside N. bôr “steadfast; trusty man, faithful vassal” (Ety/BOR), which is the source of the derivation given above.
