Girion (d. T.A. 2770) was the last Lord of Dale, killed by the dragon Smaug when Smaug assaulted Dale and the neighboring dwarf realm of Erebor. Girion also had a necklace of emeralds.
170 years later, Bard, assumed to be Girion's descendant, took revenge on the dragon by slaying him with an arrow.
Etymology
Although the names of Dale are Norse, Girion seems to be Sindarin. The meaning is not clear but Etymologies give a Noldorin root gir "to shudder"
