Amarië (Q, pron. [aˈmari.e]) was a Vanyarin Elf who was loved by Finrod.

Finrod, son of Finarfin, was a Noldorin prince who met Amarië in Valinor. Although in love with one another, they did not marry and Amarië did not follow Finrod into exile to Beleriand;[1] according to The Grey Annals this was because she was not permitted.[2] Following Finrod's death, at the hands of Sauron during the Quest for the Silmaril, he was brought back to life and lives with Amarië in Valinor.[3]

Etymology

The name is not given an interpretation within the legendarium. Helge Fauskanger suggests that this Quenya name is perhaps derived from mára "good".[4]

Another possibility is that the name includes the element mar, "home"[5] Ruth S. Noel makes a similar interpretation and defines Amarië as "Of the Home".[6]

Other versions of the legendarium

Originally Finrod had a wife named Meril who went into exile and bore the child Gil-galad who were both sent to dwell in the Havens of the Falas for their safety.[7] This was later to changed so Finrod had no child - with Gil-galad becoming the son of Orodreth, Finrod's nephew - and Amarië's beloved remaining in Aman.[8]
