| While [[Tar-Elendil]] ruled as the fourth King of [[Númenor]], his Heir [[Meneldur]] had a son of his own. He named that child '''Anardil''', "Devoted to the Sun", perhaps because of the golden hair the boy had inherited from [[Almarian]], his mother. He quickly grew to become a proud but generous youth, and became enamoured of sea-going and adventure.

| As his experience and reputation as a mariner grew, he planted great forests to provide wood for ship-building, and from them he received his more famous name, [[Aldarion]], probably meaning "Son of the Trees". Almost all records of his life refer to him has '''[[Aldarion]]''' rather than Anardil, or (after he inherited the Kingship) as '''[[Tar-Aldarion]]'''. There are a very few exceptions: his "official" full name as King's Heir seems to have been "Anardil Aldarion", while his grandfather [[Vëantur]] called him '''[[Anardilya]]''', a familiar form of his birth-name.
