Aravorn (T.A. 2497[1] - 2654,[2] died aged 157) was the ninth Chieftain of the Dúnedain.

History[edit | edit source]

Aravorn succeeded his father, Aragost, when he died in 2588. Aravorn's rule seems to be uneventful as the enemy centered a lot of its attacks on the newly-formed Rohan.

Aravorn died in 2654, after having ruled as chieftain for 66 years, and was succeeded by his son, Arahad II.[2]

Etymology[edit | edit source]

Aravorn is a Sindarin name. Its meaning is not glossed, but the Association Tolkiendil suggests it means "Black King".[3] It is probably a compound of the prefix ar(a)- ("noble", "royal", "high") and morn ("black", "dark", "night")[3] or born ("[stead]fast").[4][5]
