hador

masculine name. Warrior

Leader of the House of Hador, one of the three tribes of the Edain (S/147). In a geneology from 1959, the name seems to be translated “Warrior” in Hador Lorindol “the Warrior Goldenhead”, appearing beneath S. Magor “the Sword” and S. Hathol “the Axe” (WJ/234).

Conceptual Development: In Silmarillion drafts from the 1930s, this name appeared as N. Hádor and Hador with both long and short a (LR/146). In The Etymologies of the 1930s, N. hador was translated as “thrower” (Ety/KHAT).

cirion

masculine name. Cirion

The 12th ruling steward of Gondor (LotR/1039). The meaning of this name is unclear. David Salo suggested it means “✱Shipman”, an ancient combination of cair “ship” and the agental suffix -(r)on, from (unattested) primitive ✶kiriondo (GS/245, 346).

Conceptual Development: In drafts of the Lord of the Rings appendices, this name first appeared as Hador (PM/219).
