==Etymology==
Adrahil is an [[Adûnaic]] name of unknown meaning.


The first element perhaps comes from a possible Adûnaic word *''adar'' which may or not be related to [[Sindarin]] ''[[adar]]''.
The second element ''-hil'' (also seen in the name ''[[Imrahil]]'') perhaps is related to the [[Westron]] ending ''-kil'' (cf. ''[[banakil]], [[Tarkil]]'') meaning "man", ultimately related to [[Elvish]] "follower".
