The name Hador refers to more than one character, item or concept. For a list of other meanings, see Hador (disambiguation).

hador or hadron is a Noldorin word meaning "thrower of spears or darts". The word could also appear as a personal name, Hador.[1]

Tolkien continued to use the name Hador in the writings of the legendarium after the evolution from Noldorin to Sindarin,[2] although it is unknown if he intended the Noldorin meaning to be retained.

In both David Salo's and Didier Willis's Neo-Sindarin wordlists, hador and hadron ("thrower") appear as valid Sindarin forms.[3][4]
