Emeldir the Manhearted (born F.A. 406) was a woman of the House of Beor in Dorthonion, the wife of Barahir and the mother of Beren Erchamion.[1]
After the Dagor Bragollach, when Dorthonion was ruined and infested, Barahir and Beren became outlaws fighting the evil creatures. Emeldir would have preferred to stay with her family to fight, but as the women and children of the First House had to flee from their homes she led them, and after many hardships they reached Brethil.[2]
Etymology
Patrick H. Wynne has suggested that Emeldir possibly consists of Sindarin emel ("mother") + dir ("man"), yielding a hypothetical translation "manly-mother" or "mother with manly courage" (close in meaning to her epithet the Manhearted).[3]
