'''Gimilzagar''' was the second son of [[Tar-Calmacil]]. He was an ancestor of [[Inzilbêth]], the mother of [[Tar-Palantir]].<ref name=Gimilzagar/>
'''Gimilzagar''' was a [[Númenóreans|Númenórean]] of the royal house, the younger son of King [[Tar-Calmacil]] the eighteenth ruler of the island kingdom. His line of descent made him the great-uncle of Tar-Calmacil's grandson [[Ar-Adûnakhôr]], who broke with tradition by taking his royal name in the [[Adûnaic]] tongue. Some sources suggest that Gimilzagar was the ancestor of [[Inzilbêth]] the mother of [[Tar-Palantir]], though the details of this ancestry are open to question.

''Gimilzagar'' seems to mean "Star-sword" in [[Adûnaic]] (from ''[[gimil]]'', 'star' and ''[[zagar]]'', 'sword').
''Gimilzagar'' is an [[Adûnaic]] name. Its meaning is not glossed, but Paul Strack suggests it likely means "Sword of Stars", being a compound of ''[[gimil]]'' ("stars") + ''[[zagar]]'' ("sword").<ref>{{webcite|author=Paul Strack|articleurl=http://www.eldamo.org/content/words/word-2196697131.html|articlename=Ad.
