Eärwen (Q "sea-maiden", pron. [eˈarwen]) was the daughter of Olwë, King of the Falmari, the Teleri of Aman. She was known as the "Swan-maiden of Alqualondë".
Around Valian Year 1280 during the Years of the Trees she married Finarfin, a Noldo of the House of Finwë. She became the mother of Finrod, Angrod, Aegnor, and Galadriel. She was said to be friends with Anairë, the wife of Fingolfin, her husband's older brother.
Eärwen stayed in Aman after the Flight of the Noldor. She presumably still lives there with Finarfin.

Etymology
Her name means "Maiden of the Sea" in Quenya (from eär = "sea" and -wen = "maiden").
Other Versions of the Legendarium
In the published The Silmarillion, Orodreth is the son of Finarfin and Eärwen. This was an editorial decision by Christopher Tolkien, and an admitted mistake. Orodreth is actually Eärwen's grandson, the son of her child Angrod.
The family-tree of Elwë shows only Eärwen as a child of Olwë. However, in the text she is said to have brothers[2], whose names are not mentioned in the narrative.
