Findegil was the King's Writer of Gondor in the Fourth Age.

History

In Fo.A. 172, Findegil wrote a copy of the Thain's Book for the Thain of the Shire, probably at the request of Peregrin Took's great-grandson.[1]

Etymology

Findegil is Sindarin and possibly means "skilled pen" and contains tegil "pen".[source?]

The first element of the name seems to be *fin- "skill" (root PHIN-; cf. Old Noldorin finde[2]). There is also a word fîn "hair".
