erendis

feminine name. ?Lonely Bride

A Númenórean queen, the neglected wife of Tar-Aldarion (UT/173-217). Her name might be a compound of er “one, alone” and indis “wife, bride”, perhaps meaning “✱Lonely Bride”. The name of her mother (Núneth) and father (Beregar) appear to be Sindarin, so perhaps her name was Sindarin as well, with a different and a less unpleasant meaning (though such “prophetic” names are also common in Tolkien’s works).
